Ushering in a new era of confessional music that spoke openly about experiences of trauma, depression, and self-loathing, Nine Inch Nails' seminal album, The Downward Spiral, changed popular music forever--bringing transgressive themes of heresy, S&M, and body horror to the masses and taking music technology to its limits. Released in 1994, the album resonated across a generation, combining elements of metal, industrial, synth-pop, and ambient electronica, and going on to sell over four million copies. Now, Into the Never explores the creation and cultural impact of The Downward Spiral, one of the most influential and artistically significant albums of the twentieth century, or ever. Inspired by David Bowie's Low and Pink Floyd's The Wall, the album recounts one man's disintegration as he descends into nihilism and nothingness. Blurring the lines between autobiography and concept album, creation and decay, it is also the story of Trent Reznor (the man who is Nine Inch Nails) as he pushed himself to the edge of the abyss, trapped in a cycle of addiction and self-destruction. The Downward Spiral also presents a reflection of America and a wider culture of violence, connecting the Columbine High School shooting, the infamous Manson family murders, and the aftermath of Vietnam and the Gulf War. Featuring new interviews with collaborators and artists inspired by the album, Into the Never sets The Downward Spiral in the context of music of the era and brings the story up to date, from Reznor's recovery to his reinvention as an Oscar-winning soundtrack artist. .
Indie music originated in the 1950s-60s as a rebellion against the domination of major music labels. It was a low-budget, DIY movement that encouraged experimentation. Key early artists included The Velvet Underground and Captain Beefheart. No genre is harder to define, as Indie has incorporated elements of many styles over time. In the 2000s, the popularity of bands like Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand introduced Indie to a new generation of mainstream listeners. However, some argue this commercial success dilutes Indie's rebellious spirit. Dubstep is now seen by some as a new underground genre carrying the torch of innovation and exclusivity once held by Indie.

The genre was popularized through the 1950s but faced challenges in the late 1950s, while newer artists like Buddy Holly took rock in new directions and Ray Charles synthesized genres.
Indie music is a genre that describes independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous approach to recording and publishing. It has a long history dating back to the post-war era in the US and UK. Independent labels strive for minimal influence on artists and focus more on music than wealth. Indie music encompasses various styles and sounds that operate outside of mainstream definitions.

Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters,
by Carl Wilkinson
A group of record company executives, sitting down to sketch the perfect rock star, may well come up with someone a little like Dave Grohl. He has the look – long, thick black hair; he has the talent – he plays the drums, guitar and piano, he sings and he writes his own songs; and, above all, he has both pedigree and credibility.
In the early 1990s, as drummer with seminal grunge band Nirvana, Grohl helped change the face of popular music. Today, as lead singer with stadium-filling rock giants Foo Fighters, he is a multi-millionaire who has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide, won six Grammy awards and is president of his own record label. Alongside Foo Fighters he has a number of side projects (including super group Them Crooked Vultures, with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones); a documentary about his band shot by Oscar-winning director James Moll was released last month and his seventh album, Wasting Light, is out on Monday. Now 42, Grohl – and his brand of rock ’n’ roll – has grown up, had kids and settled down.
We meet at Studio 606, the 8,000 sq ft recording space he built in 2005 in the Northridge area of Los Angeles. Outside, the Californian spring sunshine throws stark shadows across some neighborhoods that estate agents would describe euphemistically as “mixed”; from inside this large utilitarian building, with its tinted windows, the blue sky looks almost overcast.
Grohl, who is tall, lean and has grown into his slightly goofy looks, sets down the keys to his decidedly un-rock ’n’ roll grey BMW estate, tucks his shoulder-length hair behind his ear and flips the lid on his laptop. “Sorry,” he beams. “I’ve just got to check my e-mail. I want to see if my daughter got into private school.” Grohl married Jordyn Blum in 2003, and they have two daughters, Violet Maye, aged four, and Harper Willow, one.
The upstairs lounge looks like a bachelor pad: there’s a fridge, jukebox and widescreen TV with an eclectic selection of boxsets: The Office, ACDC and Bon Jovi gigs, and a tape of the Make-up and Effects trade show 1997. Scattered across the purple sofa are cushions covered with old band T-shirts (Slayer, The Police, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Led Zeppelin) made by Grohl’s mother. “She called up and said ‘David, what do you want me to do with those T-shirts in the attic?’,” says Grohl in a falsetto.
Downstairs, a vast recording studio complete with Persian rugs and a grand piano in the corner leads on to a warehouse filled with carefully labelled guitar cases, drums and assorted equipment. Among the platinum records, framed posters and photographs hanging in the corri.
Michael Jackson began his career with The Jackson 5, achieving great success as a group. As a solo artist, his music transitioned to a more commercial, synthetic style to appeal to wider audiences. His career achievements include numerous records and awards. Similarly, Snoop Dogg found early success with N.W.A. but later broadened his sound and collaborated with pop artists.

Today, as lead singer with stadium-filling rock giants Foo Fighters, he is a multi-millionaire who has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide, won six Grammy awards and is president of his own record label. Alongside Foo Fighters he has a number of side projects (including super group Them Crooked Vultures, with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones); a documentary about his band shot by Oscar-winning director James Moll was released last month and his seventh album, Wasting Light, is out on Monday. Now 42, Grohl – and his brand of rock ’n’ roll – has grown up, had kids and settled down.
We meet at Studio 606, the 8,000 sq ft recording space he built in 2005 in the Northridge area of Los Angeles. Outside, the Californian spring sunshine throws stark shadows across some neighborhoods that estate agents would describe euphemistically as “mixed”; from inside this large utilitarian building, with its tinted windows, the blue sky looks almost overcast.
Grohl, who is tall, lean and has grown into his slightly goofy looks, sets down the keys to his decidedly un-rock ’n’ roll grey BMW estate, tucks his shoulder-length hair behind his ear and flips the lid on his laptop. “Sorry,” he beams. “I’ve just got to check my e-mail. I want to see if my daughter got into private school.” Grohl married Jordyn Blum in 2003, and they have two daughters, Violet Maye, aged four, and Harper Willow, one.
The upstairs lounge looks like a bachelor pad: there’s a fridge, jukebox and widescreen TV with an eclectic selection of boxsets: The Office, ACDC and Bon Jovi gigs, and a tape of the Make-up and Effects trade show 1997. Scattered across the purple sofa are cushions covered with old band T-shirts (Slayer, The Police, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Led Zeppelin) made by Grohl’s mother. “She called up and said ‘David, what do you want me to do with those T-shirts in the attic?’,” says Grohl in a falsetto.
Downstairs, a vast recording studio complete with Persian rugs and a grand piano in the corner leads on to a warehouse filled with carefully labelled guitar cases, drums and assorted equipment. Among the platinum records, framed posters and photographs hanging in the corri.
In the 1960s, music was heavily influenced by the counterculture movement and anti-establishment sentiments of the time. This gave rise to several influential bands from the UK like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, and Animals during the British Invasion. These bands embodied rebellion and defiance through their music and style. The counterculture movement embraced rock music and promoted ideals of peace, love, and freedom. A defining moment was the 1969 Woodstock festival, which gathered over 400,000 people to experience the psychedelic rock music of the era.

3. Ushering in a new era of confessional music that spoke openly about experiences
of trauma, depression, and self-loathing, Nine Inch Nails' seminal album, The
Downward Spiral, changed popular music forever--bringing transgressive themes
of heresy, S&M, and body horror to the masses and taking music technology to
its limits. Released in 1994, the album resonated across a generation, combining
elements of metal, industrial, synth-pop, and ambient electronica, and going on

story of Trent Reznor (the man who is Nine Inch Nails) as he pushed himself to
the edge of the abyss, trapped in a cycle of addiction and self-destruction. The
Downward Spiral also presents a reflection of America and a wider culture of
violence, connecting the Columbine High School shooting, the infamous Manson
family murders, and the aftermath of Vietnam and the Gulf War. Featuring new
interviews with collaborators and artists inspired by the album, Into the Never
54. sets The Downward Spiral in the context of music of the era and brings the
story up to date, from Reznor's recovery to his reinvention as an Oscar-winning
soundtrack artist.
