Nine Inch Nails (NIN) is an industrial rock band formed in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio. Reznor has been the main producer, singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and sole member of Nine Inch Nails for 28 years. In December 2016, Atticus Ross officially became the second member of the band. Known for their melding of industrial elements with pop sensibilities, Nine Inch Nails played a significant role in bringing the industrial genre into the mainstream. Their albums showcase a wide range of styles and genres that require an electronic sound, resulting in drastic changes from album to album. Despite this diversity, recurring leitmotifs, chromatic melodies, dissonance, terraced dynamics and common lyrical themes are identifiable characteristics found throughout their discography.

The gritty, distinctive sound of Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) created a blueprint for hardcore hip-hop during the 1990s, and helped return New York City hip-hop to national prominence. Its sound also became greatly influential in modern hip-hop production, while the group members' explicit, humorous, and free-associative lyrics have served as a template for many subsequent rap records. Serving as a landmark release in the era of hip-hop known as the East Coast Renaissance, its influence helped lead the way for several other East Coast rappers, including Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, and Jay-Z.

Despite its raw, underground sound the album received positive reviews from most music critics, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) has since been widely regarded as one of the most significant albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. In 2020, the album was ranked 27th on Rolling Stone's updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2022, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
