Why see Nine Inch Nails & Soundgarden?

Both Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden can count themselves among the most important American rock bands of the 90s. Led by the mercurial Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails brought industrial rock into the mainstream with 1994's Downward Spiral, a dark, brutal masterpiece of brooding electronica and grinding riffs. Alongside Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Soundgarden were one of grunge's founding fathers, bringing a particular appreciation of 70s metal acts to the genre. 1994 also saw the release of their landmark album, Superunknown.

In the intervening years, both band's fortunes and lineups have fluctuated considerably. Lead men Trent Reznor and Chris Cornell have both spread their musical wings, with Reznor winning an Oscar for his instrumental The Social Network soundtrack, and Cornell controversially collaborating with hip-hop super producer Timbaland to produce 2009's Scream. Both groups are now back together following hiatus' and have released well-received new material which has continued to build on their legacies.
