The Downward Spiral is the second studio album by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, released on March 8, 1994 by Nothing Records and Interscope Records in the United States and by Island Records in Europe. It is a concept album detailing the destruction of a man, from the beginning of his “downward spiral” to his attempt at suicide. The Downward Spiral features elements of industrial rock, techno and heavy metal music, in contrast to the band’s synthpop-influenced debut album Pretty Hate Machine (1989), and was produced by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and Flood.[x]
This is not that “The Downward Spiral”.

The Maximals finally find the sparks in perhaps the most obvious place possible, but what Megatron’s doing with them is downright grimdark! Can they escape with their own sparks intact? Why can’t they just leave Nightscream behind with Noble and get rid of two nuisances at once? Will Noble’s reappearance turn out to be super convenient? And how far can an episode title be stretched to fit a theme? Join us this week for the last part of Sparkwar, The Siege!
