Nine Inch Nails at the top of Trent’s game. It’s excessive, brooding, aggressive and beautiful, transitioning flawlessly from soft piano to explosive walls of distorted guitar and everything in between (including the sexy synth groove or two). Coming in at the end of the 90’s it’s the perfect way to cap off the generation and transition into the void that comes next.

Favourite Tracks: “Somewhat Damaged”, “Starfuckers, Inc”, “Into The Void”, “We’re In This Together”, “The Day The World Went Away”
