The first official member to be added to the lineup since the project's inception was long-time collaborator Atticus Ross (born January 16, 1968), who was inducted in late 2016. Most members have come and gone, occasionally contributing to albums but mostly staying for the live shows. (One such member, Richard Patrick, struck out on his own and formed a band you might've heard of called Filter.)The NIN discography, once a noisy gauntlet of '90s industrial rock, has become exceedingly varied over the years, ranging from ear-destroying screaming guitar death on Broken to beautiful, mellow piano pieces on Still to the groovy sound of bass and saxophone that lines much of Hesitation Marks and all kinds of twisted sounds in between, but a general tone of angst, darkness and world-weariness has proven a strong through line. Their visuals are also known for being similarly free-spirited, with their music videos classifiable as everything from politically subversive to the sort of video which answers the question "What if Hostel had been a set for music videos?"Reznor's also worked on different musical ventures, namely How to Destroy Angels (a supergroup with longtime NIN collaborator Rob Sheridan and Reznor's wife Mariqueen Maandig) as well as a now-cemented career in score composition. Along with Ross, Reznor has handled scores for various films and TV series, notably becoming David Fincher's associated composers ever since their initial collaboration with The Social Network, as well as branching out to the unexpected with, of all things, a score for a Pixar film (Soul). They would follow this up soon after with a score for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.Reznor also provided the soundtrack to Quake and recorded tracks for Doom³ that didn't make it into the final game, although they can still be found in the game files, while former bandmate Chris Vrenna has also struck out as a notable composer, aiding Reznor with the Quake soundtrack and making music for Doom 3, Quake IV, American McGee's Alice and Quake Champions, and Charlie Clouser moved into the movie industry, best known as the recurring composer for the Saw franchise.In contrast to his at-times highly brutal output and intense stage persona (especially in the '90s), Reznor is generally a pretty nice guy in person (if not provoked) and very active in his community.
