[OMFG] Nine Inch Nails Releases Incredibly Rare “Broken” Video!!!

Trent Reznor is embracing the power of the Internet like no other, using it to continually engage fans of Nine Inch Nails, and his new project, How to Destroy Angels.

Bloody’s Jonathan Barkan recently shared his top NIN music videos, which prompted me to re-watch them all. It also had me obsessing over the unreleased “Broken” short, a bootlegged video that resides in my old room in my parent’s house in Chicago.

Thanks to Reznor, I won’t have to wait until August to watch. The Academy Award winning musician has uploaded the never-before-released “Broken” short to Vimeo so everyone can enjoy the 1993 masterpiece.

“This 1993 short film, directed by Peter Christopherson, collects the videos from the NIN Broken EP and ties them together as a “snuff” film. It was never officially released due to its graphic content, but was leaked in the 90s, and became a widely-traded VHS bootleg. A high quality burnable DVD version has since leaked onto torrent sites.”

It’s is warned, though, that it was never officially released due to its graphic content (VERY NSFW). READ MORE

5 Great Cover Songs!

Just like movie remakes, cover songs can be really tricky. Some are fantastic while some are truly god awful that should have never even considered “paying homage” to the original. But when they nail it, oh boy is it something special. Look at the remakes of John Carpenter’s The Thing or Dawn Of The Dead, films that took elements of the original and created something new and exciting. Films like these got me thinking, “What are some of my favorite cover songs? What are songs that payed homage to a classic while creating something original?” So I put together five cover songs that I feel met these requirements for your enjoyment.

[TV] Video Takes A Behind The Scenes Look At The VFX Of “The Walking Dead” Season 3

Season 3 of “The Walking Dead” is a distant memory. Well, not distant, but I get the sense that a lot of you would like to go ahead and forget that finale. But still, one of the things the show does right are its’ expert makeup and visual/cg effects.

To that effect, Stargate Studios has uploaded a video taking a quick look at how some of the season’s messiest kills were orchestrated. Even better? It’s scored to NIN’s “Heresy.”

Nine Inch Nails’ “Happiness In Slavery” Mixed With Hellraiser II Visuals

There is something very violent yet erotic about the music of Nine Inch Nails. Mixing harsh, electronic tonal elements with organic flavors, there might not be a more perfect movie franchise to compare it to than the Hellraiser series. That’s why the below video of Nine Inch Nails “Happiness In Slavery” (taken from the Fixed EP) mixed with footage and clips from Hellraiser II: Hellbound seems to work so beautifully. Given the stamp of approval from Clive Barker himself, it’s definitely worth checking out.

“Happiness In Slavery” landed at #2 in my Top 10 Nine Inch Nails Music Videos list. READ MORE

For those of you who want to feel really old, it’s been 19 years since the release of the classic Nine Inch Nails album The Downward Spiral. Yeah, 19 years. A baby born that year is now either in college or getting ready to go there. Let that sink in for a moment and then come over to my place where I have box upon box of tissues so that we may weep together.

In celebration of this milestone, we want to point you to a fantastic mini-documentary that focuses on Mark Romanek’s now infamous “Closer” music video. Romanek says about the song that, “…it’s probably the most amazing piece of music I’ve ever been given to make a video for…“. The documentary was compiled and edited by How To Destroy Angels member/visual editor Rob Sheridan. Give it a watch below.
