Parallelto "The Downward Spiral Redux", Magnetic Eye Records will release their customary companion album entitled "Best of Nine Inch Nails Redux" that contains 13 cover renditions of deep cuts and all-time classics from across NINE INCH NAILS' catalogue recorded by some of the heavy underground's most exciting artists.
DREADNOUGHT comment: "What excited us most about our choice of 'The Becoming' for this tribute was the challenge of covering an artist with a completely different sound from us yet one that we love and respect", vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kelly Schilling reveals. "While we wanted to pay homage to the original song, we also wanted to fully make it our own. We had a lot of fun interpreting the melodies and nuances with different voicings and instrumentation, and we couldn't resist adding a new flair of our own."

DREADNOUGHT hail from Denver, Colorado. Since their genre-defying inception in 2012, the band has focused on creativity and exploration, pulling from all aspects of their musical backgrounds to craft something exciting and unique. Joining in the common ground of extreme metal, DREADNOUGHT explore a blend of prog, doom, folk, jazz, classical, black metal, and post rock. With riveting vocal performances, ferocious grooves, and soaring synthesizers, the Americans have earned a reputation as pioneers of sound. The melodic awe of their debut full-length "Lifewoven" (2013) and the sophomore album "Bridging Realms"(2015) turned darker and more complex with "A Wake in Sacred Waves" (2017) and "Emergence" (2019), to culminate with a beautifully fresh perspective in writing, production, and performance on their latest release "The Endless" (2022).

At this moment, the world's reliance on machines, algorithms, and artificial intelligence has never been greater. This makes now the perfect time to reflect on the emergence of a musical force whose blend of mechanized instrumentation and raw emotion was singular and revolutionary.
NINE INCH NAILS were formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1988. They arrived around the same time as grunge when Generation X was developing an awareness of itself, but while there was cross-appeal, the sound they created was clearly and intentionally something very different.
The skepticism of that era came through in the music, with artists from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to NIRVANA pushing back against what were acceptable words and actions in our society, and everything from the ideals of what major musicians should do with their fame to what people and corporations stood for were fair targets.
NINE INCH NAILS were at least twice as cynical as everyone else and reflected the singular, driven musical expression of mastermind Trent Reznor. The music he made as NIN has always ranged from infectious, furious, delicate, and sexual to transgressive, uplifting, cautionary, and hopeless. While Reznor did not always make broad, blunt statements about politics, materialism or repression (though he definitely did at times), there was a consistently restless quality to his music. His frustration at the veneer of normalcy and acceptability that characterized modern popular music was palpable, and he seemed to search endlessly for seams to peel back and rip loose to expose what was underneath.
Of NINE INCH NAILS' seminal breakthrough album, Spin magazine respectfully had this to say in 2024: "As The Downward Spiral turns 30 this year, it still stands as an act of artistic transgression against the limits of popular music. Pushing the boundaries of creative censorship, it is still considered Nine Inch Nails' most daring and uncompromising album."
Join us in paying homage to one of rock's most ambitious innovators and angriest Gen X voices railing against the status quo, as we present our latest Redux Series installment "The Downward Spiral Redux", along with the traditional companion album "Best of Nine Inch Nails Redux". The two double album collections together comprise 27 re-imagined renditions by some of today's coolest and heaviest artists taking on NINE INCH NAILS classics and deep cuts.
The Magnetic Eye Redux Series features hand-picked classic albums from across the history of rock and metal re-imagined in their entirety from start to finish. Artists we love from within and outside the heavy rock landscape choose tracks to make their own, bringing these milestone records into the new millennium with crushing heaviness and searing energy. To date, we've produced Redux editions of PINK FLOYD's "The Wall", HELMET's "Meantime", BLACK SABBATH's "Vol. 4", JIMI HENDRIX's "Electric Ladyland", ALICE IN CHAINS' "Dirt", AC/DC's "Back in Black", SOUNDGARDEN's "Superunknown", JETHRO TULL's "Aqualung", and RAMONES' self-titled debut, which have included artists like RED FANG, THE SWORD, MATT PIKE, PALLBEARER, THE MELVINS, ALL THEM WITCHES, KHEMMIS, ASG, SUPERSUCKERS, ZAKK WYLDE, MARK LANEGAN, VOIVOD, and many more amazing artists.
