Trent is defintiely a huge musical influence. Beleieve it or not, NIN music has heavily influenced a lot of my writing, and it is typically what i will listen to when I write (especially horror).
My story
Gloom (which is terribly unfinished at just 2 chapters) was inspired by Quake, especially the soundtrack, and I use snippets from NIN songs at the beginning of each chapter (they relate to the content of the chapter. the second one isnt updated on the site, but I switched lyrics from "Only" in place of "Piggy")
