Nine Inch Nails

In 2018, Nine Inch Nails was riding a creative wave, having just released 'Bad Witch', the final installment in a trilogy of EPs that started with 'Not the Actual Events' in 2016 and continued with 'Add Violence' in 2017. This live recording from December 15, 2018, captures a pivotal moment as the band performed at the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. Known for their electrifying live shows, this performance marked the end of an era, with Trent Reznor hinting at a shift in direction afterward. Interestingly, ‘Bad Witch’ explores themes of chaos and introspection, a fitting backdrop for a final concert atmosphere. Fans embraced the raw sentiment in the music, right before the band dipped into a quieter phase before their inevitable resurgence. The emotion of saying goodbye in a city full of memories makes this performance a bittersweet chapter in their storied journey.
