After he had failed to kill himself again, Courtney persuaded him to have rehabilitation courses in Los Angeles. However, tortured by drugs and depression, Curt continued attempting suicide. The acoustic performance on MTV made it a bit better. Nirvana’s concerts gathered not as many people as before. Although it debuted first in the American and British charts, In Utero was not a commercial hit. In Utero was released in September 1993 and earned critical acclaim and the audience’s attention. It was accompanied by conflicts between the musicians and the label’s management, and after the album’s release, Curt, having too much narcotic, attempted suicide. In the late 1992, Nirvana released a compilation, Incesticide, and in spring of the following year started the session for the third album, In Utero. Curt made up his mind to take some care of his own health after his daughter Francis Bean had been born.

The music by Nirvana, simple, yet original and sincere, made its makers the new youth icons. Neither the label nor the musicians themselves expected this record to gain such stunning success. In September 1991, after the European tour with Sonic Youth, Nirvana released their best album, Nevermind, one of the most outstanding pieces in the history of rock-music. Dave Grohl, the drummer, was the last member to join the band and complete the lineup. Many labels fought each other for the chance to sign a contract with the talented young musicians making an original sort of music. Thanks to multiple concerts and promotion via college radio, Nirvana interested big recording companies. They recorded the debut album, Bleach, for as little as 606.17 USD and released it in spring 1989.

It is their first album to feature drummer Dave Grohl. Frontman Kurt Cobain sought to make music outside the restrictive confines of the Seattle grunge scene, drawing influence from groups such as the Pixies and their use of "loud/quiet" dynamics. ![]() Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind was the group's first release on DGC Records.
