Today of course marks the 30th anniversary of nine inch nails' legendary record The Downward Spiral. This masterpiece of an album was released March 8, 1994, and was a pretty intense thing for 14 year old me to hear.
This photo is from Instagram - Trent just posted it, saying what 28 year old him had to say still excites him but breaks his heart. It's a dark album, man. All the pigs are still lined up.
Listening to the new #Ministry album Hopiumforthemasses. Thanks to @cstross for pointing to its existence 😊 It's a pretty awesome album in my humble opinion. #music#metal#industrial
Jeśli cały nowy album Ministry jest taki, jak pierwsze dwa utwory, to... Lewacki szacuneczek 🙌 Muzycznie też spoko, choć te gitarki trochę boomerskie, więcej synthów i sampli proszę 😅 @muzykametalowa#muzyka#industrial
Where steel is crafted, even the doors are clad in armor. This red factory's petite safety-glass portal stands as a vigilant guardian over Nagoya's metal minions. 🏭🛡️

I don't know how many times this went into my car's CD player after a hard day of work.
