The Redux Series companion album ‘Best of Nine Inch Nails Redux’ has arrived, bringing bold reinterpretations of essential tracks. Among its standout moments is Marissa Nadler’s haunting take on “The Great Below,” now paired with a striking music video she created, directed, and edited herself. The result feels immersive and deeply personal, extending the song’s atmosphere into vivid visual form.
Nadler shares her connection to the track: “Both Milky and I were immediately drawn to the song’s intimate darkness and atmosphere, elements that resonate deeply with our own work. In this version, we aimed to preserve the original’s haunting sense of isolation and shimmering despair.” Her voice floats through the arrangement, honoring the source while reshaping its emotional core.
She continues, praising Nine Inch Nails’ sonic architecture and the film score work of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. “The sense of suspense created by that restraint in ‘The Great Below’ was immensely compelling to us. I’ve always been drawn to the slowest, saddest corners of a record, the ones that can open up into new realms, and ‘The Great Below’ felt like one of those rare portals.” The performance captures that quiet intensity.
Best known as a singer songwriter, Nadler released her tenth studio album ‘New Radiations’ in 2025 to strong acclaim. A mezzo soprano who blends folk, country, and experimental metal textures, she also brings a background in fine art, with degrees in illustration and art education from the Rhode Island School of Design. Painting, bookbinding, wood carving, and hot wax techniques all inform her visual language, and now video art joins that list. This reimagining stands as a compelling bridge between two distinct creative worlds.
