“Peel it back” is a line from their 1994 song “March of the pigs.” This song can be found on the quintessential album of this band: “The Downward Spiral” – a chunk of deeply tragic, drug-fueled introspection, whose most important piece, “Hurt,” was even covered by Johnny Cash and suddenly celebrated worldwide across genres.

Nine Inch Nails are, for many, the inventors of industrial as a hard mix of electronic beats and heavy metal elements. And their current retrospective tour takes the band led by mastermind Trent Reznor – who also likes to compose film scores, soundtracks for video games, and music for countless other projects – to the large arenas, where collective euphoria in the dark music environment is guaranteed.
