Nine Inch Nails

In 2018, Nine Inch Nails was experiencing a dynamic phase in their career, following the release of 'Bad Witch' just a few months earlier in June. This album, the final installment of a trilogy that began with 'Hesitation Marks' and continued with 'Not the Actual Events,' showcased a raw and experimental sound that blurred genre lines—trademark NIN, right? The live recording of 'Hurt' at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre captures the profound emotional depth that Trent Reznor infuses into his performances. Interestingly, 'Hurt' originally appeared on the 'The Downward Spiral,' one of the band's seminal works, highlighting the stark evolution of Reznor’s artistry over the years. This performance not only reflects his deep connection to the song but also his willingness to revisit and redefine his legacy in real-time.
