Nine Inch Nails

In September 2017, Nine Inch Nails performed live at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, showcasing their iconic track "Wish." This performance came shortly after the release of their EP "Add Violence" earlier that same year. "Add Violence" is part of a trilogy of EPs, with the first being "Not the Actual Events," which had dropped in late 2016, marking a significant creative resurgence for the band. The period around this live recording saw Trent Reznor and his collaborators exploring darker themes and pushing sonic boundaries, continuing their legacy in the industrial rock scene. Interestingly, "Wish" itself, originally from the 1992 album "Broken," remains a fan favorite and highlights the band’s knack for blending raw emotion with hard-hitting electronic sounds. This performance was a testament to the band's enduring influence, showing that even decades into their career, Nine Inch Nails still captivate and energize their audience.
