Although Chris Vrenna is best known for his period as drummer with <a href="spotify:artist:0X380XXQSNBYuleKzav5UO">Nine Inch Nails</a>, since leaving <a href="spotify:artist:0hRijdwO8UsJMudc3476ma">Trent Reznor</a>'s troupe in 1996, he has been busy creating a good reputation for himself as a talented producer and engineer.
Vrenna first appeared on the Chicago industrial scene in the mid- to late-'80s. Having been briefly a member of <a href="spotify:artist:7FWfCGGyzkfCfAzhNGeOmi">Die Warzau</a>, he made a number of valuable contacts in the area. Before long he hooked up with <a href="spotify:artist:0hRijdwO8UsJMudc3476ma">Trent Reznor</a>, who was then in the process of recording his debut album, Pretty Hate Machine. This was the beginning of a six-year partnership, during which time Vrenna remained the only permanent member of <a href="spotify:artist:0hRijdwO8UsJMudc3476ma">Reznor</a>'s band. Despite taking a break to temporarily join <a href="spotify:artist:5daXMUbrPh8oX9Nd4CnToG">Stabbing Westward</a>, Vrenna continued to work with <a href="spotify:artist:0hRijdwO8UsJMudc3476ma">Reznor</a> on <a href="spotify:artist:2VYQTNDsvvKN9wmU5W7xpj">Marilyn Manson</a>'s first three albums.
By 1996, relations between the two had soured and Vrenna left <a href="spotify:artist:0X380XXQSNBYuleKzav5UO">Nine Inch Nails</a>. He soon began a popular producer-for-hire, working with established acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:3HVdAiMNjYrQIKlOGxoGh5">Rob Zombie</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5Mu0EMEsUIVE132pNMywns">Skinny Puppy</a>. His skills as a programmer have been utilized by <a href="spotify:artist:5SHQUMAmEK5KmuSb0aDvsn">Hole</a> and Guns'n'Roses, and Vrenna has also formed partnerships with <a href="spotify:artist:0Zy4ncr8h1jd7Nzr9946fD">Killing Joke</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5ybsLFsFrRFXgdklfMryWD">Jack off Jill</a>. Although he has not joined any band as a full-time member, Vrenna continues to be a sought-after producer. ~ Jim Harper, Rovi
