Doom was one of the most harrowing and violent games I've ever played (and pretty much went to the limit of what I could tolerate as I don't follow those Resident Evil games for example). In the mid-90's I killed a lot of time playing Doom and its various sequels on my PC and eventually Super Nintendo. After hearing the first few songs on The Slip I was taken back to an era over a decade ago to a time when Reznor was considered 'cutting edge' and recorded music for one of the Doom video games. Reznor was on a major record label for years and reportedly hated it so now he is on his own and free to record and distribute music as he wishes. Last week I got Nine Inch Nail's free downloadable album The Slip, an album NIN man Trent Reznor recorded to release to his fans.
