A bevy of new Nine Inch Nails covers have arrived online today, with the arrival of two new tribute albums to the legendary industrial metal outfit. While a number of tracks from those two compilations rolled out in advance, you can now for the first time hear both sets in their entirety below.
Magnetic Eye Records oversaw and issued this pair of tributes to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame-inducted industrial trailblazers as part of their prolific ‘Redux’ series of tribute albums. One of those compilations, “The Downward Spiral [Redux]“, delivers exactly what you would expect: a complete tribute to Nine Inch Nails‘ 4x multi-platinum 1994 magnum opus, “The Downward Spiral“.
A second tribute album, “Best Of Nine Inch Nails Redux” instead finds some 13 artists taking on various tracks from the rest of Nine Inch Nails‘ storied catalog. Among the contributions newly debuting as part of the release are North Carolinian prog metallers Between The Buried And Me‘s version of “Hurt” — a song later made famous by the late Johnny Cash. Industrial powerhouse Author & Punisher have also chipped in a version of “Reptile“, while sludge metal outfit Black Tusk have served up their rendition of “Mr. Self-Destruct“.
