From Wikipedia

The Downward Spiral is the second studio album by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, fronted by Trent Reznor. It was released on March 8, 1994, by Nothing Records and Interscope Records in the United States and Island Records in Europe. Considered one of the most influential and emblematic works of the 1990s, this concept album chronicles the self-destructive descent of a misanthropic protagonist into madness, dehumanization, and suicide.
