Cross-media recommendations across film, TV, games, books & music — picked by taste.
Bad Witch completes the arc Nine Inch Nails began with Not the Actual Events and Add Violence — three releases that together chart a descent into industrial abrasion and earned discomfort. The taste it signals is a hunger for art that refuses comfort: dark ritual and paranormal dread in film, worlds stripped of light in animated TV, and stories where music itself becomes a force tied to fate or doom. Across every medium, the thread is the same — darkness as substance, not decoration.
About Bad Witch
Bad Witch is the ninth studio album by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, released by The Null Corporation and Capitol Records on June 22, 2018. It is the last of a trilogy of releases, following their two previous EPs Not the Actual Events (2016) and Add Violence (2017). As with the previous releases in the trilogy, it was produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, making it the band's first studio album since 2007's Year Zero to not be co-produced by the long-time collaborator Alan Moulder, who is credited with mixing the album.

Why do fans of industrial music connect with Bad Witch specifically?
