The Great Destroyer (NIN)

"THE GREAT DESTROYER"
 
As featured in Spazdog Press's "Nothing Can Stop Me Now: Stories Inspired By the Songs of Nine Inch Nails". 
 
An anthology where various artists and writers draw inspiration from songs. This particular edition  concists of Nine Inch Nails songs and I had the distinct honot of being part of this with a full page pin-up for the song "The great Destroyer". A song which 
resonates with me on a very personal level. I have followed the A.I.R. movement (Art Is Resistance) with great interest and strongly believe in the concept of fighting back the darkness in the world with art.
 
The chaos that comes with that decision, the not knowing how to overcome that unending darkness is what I feel is reflected in the song's chaotic finale. I have tried to capture in this pin-up image the small acts of resistance that help color our world a bit brighter, however useless and hidden they may feel, they all contribute.
 
For your reference, here are the lyrics to the song;
 
Say your name
Try to speak as clearly as you can
You know
Everything gets written down
Nod your head
Just in case they could be watching
With their
Shiny satellites
I hope they cannot see
The limitless potential
Living inside of me
To murder everything
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer
Turn it up
Listen to the shit they pump
Into your head
Filling you with apathy
Hold your breath
Wait until you know the time is
Right on time
The end is near
I hope they cannot see
The limitless potential
Living inside of me
To murder everything
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer
 
The book is available through Amazon.com
