Nine Inch Nails is an influential Grammy Award-winning American industrial rock band. The band itself consists of only one permanent member, founder Trent Reznor. However, several famous guest musicians have contributed to the band's releases, including Adrian Belew, a guitarist with seminal British progressive rock band King Crimson.
On May 5, 2008, Nine Inch Nails' eighth studio album, The Slip, was released to be downloaded without charge from the band's homepage.
Reznor is known for his scathing criticism and rants against Christianity, as are apparent in a number of his songs.
