Following the success of Pretty Hate Machine, Nine Inch Nails took a more aggressive turn with Broken (1992), a raw and heavy EP that showcased a harsher industrial metal sound. However, it was The Downward Spiral (1994) that solidified Nine Inch Nails’ place in rock history. Featuring the hit single “Closer” and the hauntingly introspective “Hurt,” the album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and became one of the defining records of the 1990s. The intense themes of self-destruction, addiction, and alienation resonated with a generation, and the album’s innovative production influenced countless artists.

Reznor expanded his sonic ambition with The Fragile (1999), a double album that incorporated ambient textures and orchestral elements. Although critically praised, the album had a divisive reception upon release but has since been reassessed as one of his most complex and experimental works. After a brief hiatus, Nine Inch Nails returned with With Teeth (2005), featuring the hit single “The Hand That Feeds.” This was followed by Year Zero (2007), a politically charged concept album that was accompanied by an elaborate alternate reality game.

Nine Inch Nails remained prolific in the late 2000s and 2010s, with Ghosts I–IV (2008) and The Slip (2008) being released independently, showcasing Reznor’s embrace of digital distribution. In 2013, Nine Inch Nails returned with Hesitation Marks, followed by a trilogy of releases: Not the Actual Events (2016), Add Violence (2017), and Bad Witch (2018). In 2020, Reznor released Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts, ambient albums reflecting the global uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Throughout their career, Nine Inch Nails have won multiple awards, including two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, a testament to their impact on modern music. Their influence can be seen across various genres, from metal and electronic to alternative and hip-hop.

Beyond Nine Inch Nails, Reznor has made significant contributions to film scoring. Collaborating with Atticus Ross, he has composed award-winning scores for films such as The Social Network (2010), which won an Academy Award, Gone Girl (2014), and Soul (2020).
