Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Last Friday, on November 28, 2025, the Redux Serries companion album “Best of Nine Inch Nails Redux” hit stores worldwide. To celebrate the event, MARISSA NADLER‘s hypnotic contribution ‘The Great Below‘ is presented with a stunning music video created, directed and edited by the multi-talented artist for her NIN tribute song.

Parallel to the companion album “Best of Nine Inch Nails Redux“, Magnetic Eye Records releases “The Downward Spiral Redux” today, which contains 14 cover renditions of the original album tracks in sequence, recorded by some of the most compelling artists in hard and heavy music.

Both tribute albums are available for purchase HERE

The official music video for MARISSA NADLER‘s breathtaking version of the NIN classic ‘The Great Below‘ is now available to watch here:

MARISSA NADLER comments on ‘The Great Below’: “Both Milky and I were immediately drawn to the song’s intimate darkness and atmosphere – elements that resonate deeply with our own work“, the singer-songwriter and fine artist writes. “In this version, we aimed to preserve the original’s haunting sense of isolation and shimmering despair. NINE INCH NAILS have an incredible ability to evoke emotion through restraint and texture, both in their records and in Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s recent film scores. The sense of suspense created by that restraint in ‘The Great Below’ was immensely compelling to us. I’ve always been drawn to the slowest, saddest corners of a record – the ones that can open up into new realms – and ‘The Great Below’ felt like one of those rare portals.“

Probably best know as a singer-songwriter, MARISSA NADLER released her critically acclaimed tenth studio full-length “New Radiations” in the summer of 2025. As a musician, the mezzo-sopranist is not easy to categorise as she seamlessly blends folk and country with elements of black and experimental metal. Yet MARISSA NADLER is not limited to music. Studying painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in illustration and a master’s degree in art education, and has explored artistic techniques such as painting, bookbinding, wood carving, and hot wax painting. And at least by now video art needs to be added this already impressive list.

Enhance your Redux experience of Magnetic Eye Records and friends, who are respectfully paying homage to US-industrial rock legends NINE INCH NAILS and their 1994 milestone album “The Downward Spiral”, with the additional of even more spectacular deep cuts and classics offered on the companion album “Best of Nine Inch Nails Redux”.

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.

Join us for our tenth foray into Redux territory as we pay proper respect to the US industrial rock legends NINE INCH NAILS!
