"Hesitation Marks" marked the band's return after a five-year hiatus, showcasing a blend of familiar industrial sounds with new influences. The concert film "Tension 2013," recorded at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, highlights the band's elaborate stage presence and intricate production, reflecting their elaborate multimedia approach during this era. The release of the concert film on Blu-ray and DVD in Spring 2014 further emphasizes Nine Inch Nails' commitment to delivering a high-quality audio-visual experience to their fans. Notably, "Tension" also marked the first tour featuring guitarist Adrian Belew, adding a fresh dimension to their lineup. This period solidified the band's influence in the industrial rock genre while also introducing them to a new generation of fans.
