The world over, many artists are inspired by art of another medium: music. This universally emotional conduit has proven time and again how inspirational it can be when it comes to visual artists and the creations they bring into the world. Pretty much everyone can relate to the ethereal feeling of seeing a vision in your head when that certain song begins to play on the radio.

I, myself, am incredibly inspired by both music and lyrics in my own art, and decided to create a regular news feature specific to certain bands/musical artists to showcase the works on DA that have encapsulated those unique visions that music gives us all.

Bands are chosen by me based and searched in the DA database. I am more than open to suggestions if you would like to see a certain band or artist featured. Choice of art is based on personal opinion for original works inspired by songs/lyrics/bands. I will not be including fan art, concert photography, any art including use of the band's copyrighted album art, photography or logo (unless logo is applied to an original art work), or any "interpretations" of a copyrighted image the band has used. I will feature original art works, from an artist's imagination based on the featured band.



This Feature: NINE INCH NAILS
Nine Inch Nails (abbreviated as NIN) is an American industrial rock band, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Reznor is the only official member of Nine Inch Nails and remains solely responsible for its direction. NIN's music straddles a wide range of genres, while retaining a characteristic sound using electronic instruments and processing. After recording a new album, Reznor usually assembles a live band to perform with him. The touring band features a revolving lineup that often rearranges songs to fit a live setting. On stage, NIN often employs spectacular visual elements to accompany its performances, which frequently culminate with the band destroying their instruments.
