Singer Songwriter Multi-Instrumentalist And Producer Trent Reznor Was The Only Permanent Member Of The Band Until The Official Addition Of English Musician Atticus Ross In 2016. Reznor Chose The Name "Nine Inch Nails" Because It "abbreviated Easily" Rather Than For "any Literal Meaning". Other Rumored Explanations Have Circulated Alleging That Reznor Chose To Reference Jesus' Crucifixion With Nine-Inch Spikes   Or Freddy Krueger's Nine-Inch Fingernails. The Nine Inch Nails Logo First Appeared On The Music Video For Their Debut Single "Down In It". Reznor And Gary Talpas Designed The Logo Inspired By Tibor Kalman's Typography On The Talking Heads Album Remain In Light. The Logo Features The Band's Initials With The Second N Mirrored. Talpas A Native Of Cleveland Continued To Design Nine Inch Nails Packaging Until 1997. The Band's Debut Album Pretty Hate Machine 1989 Was Released Via TVT Records. After Disagreeing With TVT About How To Promote The Album The Band Signed With Interscope Records And Released The EP Broken 1992 . The Following Albums The Downward Spiral 1994 And The Fragile 1999 Were Released To Critical Acclaim And Commercial Success. Following A Hiatus Nine Inch Nails Resumed Touring In 2005 And Released The Album With Teeth 2005 . Following The Release Of The Album Year Zero 2007 The Band Left Interscope After A Feud. Nine Inch Nails Continued Touring And Independently Released Ghosts I–IV 2008 And The Slip 2008 Before A Second Hiatus.

The Band's Concerts Are Noted For Their Extensive Use Of Thematic Visual Elements Complex Special Effects And Elaborate Lighting. Songs Are Often Rearranged To Fit Any Given Performance And Melodies Or Lyrics Of Songs That Are Not Scheduled To Be Performed Are Sometimes Assimilated Into Other Songs.
Nine Inch Nails As A Live Band Is Generally Understood To Be A Separate Entity From Its Recording Studio-Based Component. Occasionally Past Band Members Are Invited To Participate In The Process When Not Directly Involved With Recording New Material Nine Inch Nails' Lineup Tends To Change Drastically Between Major Tours. Aside From Trent Reznor Remaining On Lead Vocals Nothing About The Live Band Has Remained Constant Since Its Inception. Reznor Cited The Long Gestation Period Between Studio Albums As Part Of The Reason For These Frequent Personnel Changes. Nine Inch Nails Have Sold Over 20 Million Records And Been Nominated For 13 Grammy Awards Winning For The Songs "Wish" In 1992 And "Happiness In Slavery" In 1996. Time Magazine Named Reznor One Of Its Most Influential People In 1997 While Spin Magazine Has Described Him As "the Most Vital Artist In Music".

Frogtoon Music Album Info: Quake

Quake Is A Video Game By Id Software Released On June 22 1996 Which Features Music By Nine Inch Nails. NIN Was Also Responsible For The Game's Sound Effects. The Soundtrack Was Remastered And Reissued In 2020 On Vinyl And Digital. Historically There Was Confusion As To Whether The Music Was Credited To NIN Or Trent Reznor Alone But This Was Cleared Up By Id Software Designer American McGee And By The 2020 Edition. It Is Notable That This Soundtrack Contains Ambient Music Which Reznor Went On To Explore Further With The Ghosts Series And Various Scores Created With Atticus Ross. It Is Also Reminiscent Of The Dark Ambient Music Of Coil. Most Versions Of The Game Included 10 Audio Tracks From The Game As Standard CD-Audio Files So The Game Disc Could Be Played In A CD Player With The First Track Reserved For Game Data Which Cannot Be Read By A CD Player And 10 Additional Tracks Of Music. Some Versions Of The Game Include Shortened Edits Of The Music Tracks. On September 16th 2020 It Was Announced That The Quake 12" 2xLP Would Be Available For Sale Via The Nin.Com Store. Per John Crawford On Echoing The Sound It Was Confirmed That The Release Has The Null 0.5 Release Number. The Packaging Credited The Music To Trent Reznor And Nine Inch Nails And Listed Charlie Clouser Robin Finck Danny Lohner And Chris Vrenna As Having Been Involved. The Final Blank Side Of The Vinyl Is Etched With Program Code From The Game. A Digital Release Was Also Made Available On December 4 2020. Reznor Also Posted The Following To Nin.Com Which Was Later Removed "*NOTE
WE DESIGNED THIS REISSUE TO INCLUDE A BOOKLET CONTAINING ESSAYS FROM ID SOFTWARE’S JOHN CARMACK AND AMERICAN MCGEE. A CERTAIN UNNAMED VIDEO GAME PUBLISHER MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE PACKAGE SO PLEASE HONOR THEIR WISHES BY NOT CLICKING HERE TO EVEN SEE THE ESSAYS OR HERE TO PRINT THE BOOKLET OUT FOR YOURSELF." Reznor Became Involved As The Result Of Mutual Fandom Between Himself And Developers At Id Software. He Was A Big Fan Of Doom And Had Sent Tickets And Backstage Passes To Developers Expressing An Interest In Working On Quake.
A Particular Weapon In Game Play Is The "nailgun" Which Can Be Reloaded By Collecting Ammo Boxes Decorated With The NIN Logo. Also Reznor Was The Original Choice For Sound Design On Id Software's Doom 3 But Circumstances Halted His Involvement. Former NIN Member Chris Vrenna Composed The Game's Theme Song. The Game's Readme Mentions Something Called Nothing Interactive An Entity That Has Never Been Referred To On Any Other NIN Or Nothing Records Product. Until The 2020 Release The Official Names For The Tracks Were Unknown As They Were Untitled In The Accompanying Game Literature. They Were Referred To By Their Track Number However Because The First Audio Track Is The CD's Second Track The First Being Reserved For The Actual Game Data This Usually Led To Confusion.
Alternatively Fan-Made Titles And Game Level Names Are Often Brought Up When CD Ripping/playing Software Looks Up The Information On The CDDB And Some Of Them Ended Up Being The Official Titles. The Official Titles Were Uploaded To The CDDB At Least As Early As 2000 And Were Likely Provided By Someone At Nothing Studios Or Id Software. 1.Game Data
