Following a record breaking Redux Kickstarter campaign, the first single taken from the forthcoming MER Redux Series release »The Downward Spiral« is ready to be unleashed: Seattle, WA grunge metal trio Sandrider present their hard-hitting take on the Nine Inch Nails classic »March Of The Pigs«. This highly anticipated new Redux Series installment is scheduled for release on November 28, 2025. Available for pre-order HERE.
Parallel to »The Downward Spiral«, Magnetic Eye Records will release their customar 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.
Sandrider comment: “Our choice for a tribute track, »March Of The Pigs«, is a song that hits so hard”, vocalist and guitarist Jon Weisnewski writes. “It did when it first came out, it still does now, and it’ll be just as brutal in another 30 years. Trying to harness that beast and make sure that it still had the timeless impact, we all expect it to have, was a humbling challenge.”
Sandrider hail from Seattle, Washington and, true to their place of origin, embraced grunge as the creative base to which they gave their own spin by adding a hard and sharp metal edge. The trio was formed in 2008 and currently consists of the two former Akimbo members – vocalist and guitarist Jon Weisnewski and Nat Damm on drums – with bass player and vocalist Jesse Roberts from The Ruby Doe as the third comrade-in-heaviness. Sandrider have released four acclaimed albums with »Enveletration« (2023) being their latest.
At this moment in time, the world’s reliance on machines, algorithms, and artificial intelligence has never been greater. This means it is also 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 was acceptable to say and do 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 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.”
