I was also interested in how organic matter can provide clues for past lives and past events. One hair from a human head carries enough DNA for that person to be identified. Similarly our teeth, which, after death, survive longer than any other part of our bodies, are carriers of intimate details of past lives. The booklet contains closeup photos of a piece entitled "The Semaphore of Wings", which was made with plaster, acrylics, oils, wax, earth, blood, insects, wires, and feathers on a wooden panel. [13] The typeface used on the album is DINEngschrift in lowercase (the same typeface was used on Hesitation Marks and in all caps on The Perfect Drug.) The ending keyboard melody of "Closer" is repeated in the climax of "The Downward Spiral" and the chorus of "Heresy." A similar piano melody is played at the end of "Piggy." This recurring melody is a descending tetrachord pattern and, in music theory, would be an example of a lament bass. a b Gina Morris (April 1994). "Who Really Is Trent Reznor?". Select.

The album relays nihilism and is defined by a prominent theme of self-abuse and self-control. It is a semi-autobiographical concept album, in which the overarching plot follows the protagonist's descent into madness in his own inner solipsistic world through a metaphorical "downward spiral", dealing with religion, dehumanization, violence, disease, society, drugs, sex, and finally, suicide. [23] [24] [25] Reznor described the concept as consisting of "someone who sheds everything around them to a potential nothingness, but through career, religion, relationship, belief and so on." [11] Media journalists like The New York Times writer Jon Pareles noted the album's theme of angst had already been used by grunge bands like Nirvana, and that Nine Inch Nails' depiction was more generalized.

Artist

The Mellotron MKIV used on the album (as well as on Broken) once belonged to John Lennon. Engineer Sean Beavan remarked to Sound On Sound in the above referenced article that it still had The Beatles' tape loops in it. Contrary to popular belief, it is not owned by Reznor. It was on loan to him from Interscope Records co-founders Ted Field and Jimmy Iovine. [7] Concept and Interpretations a b "The Downward Spiral". Acclaimed Music.
