Rare words of excitement from Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor (you know the one, of mono.kultur #03 fame…), whose press statements usually read more like ‘new album is finished, enjoy…’:
‘I’ve been less than honest about what I’ve really been up to lately. For the last year I’ve been secretly working non-stop with Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder on a new, full-length Nine Inch Nails record, which I am happy to say is finished and frankly fucking great. This is the real impetus and motivation behind the decision to assemble a new band and tour again.’
While the tour dates are piling up to a year’s worth of shows, the first single Came back Haunted, after four years of silence, shows a Nine Inch Nails back in form, and frankly, it’s a surprise to see them back at all.
