Along with a redux version of The Downward Spiral, Redux Records have released a compilation of noise rock/doom/sludge bands covering some of Nine Inch Nails' hits.

Enjoy!

One of my favourite albums covered by noise rock, sludge and doom bands?

Yes please!

I'm not very motivated to listen to the whole Tron: Ares album all the way through again... but this edit (by @AyyyGabagool on youtube?) tightens it up. Most of the instrumentals are removed except for the ones that repeat a theme, which are reframed as introductions to the vocal songs and mixed in. Now it's worth putting in the mix.

Tracklist:

1. Init/Shadow Over Me
2. I Know You Can Feel It
3. Target Identified/Infiltrator/As Alive As You Need Me to Be
4. Who Wants to Live Forever?
5. New Directive

Redux Records do great covers albums where they get a plethora of great noise/doom/stoner/sludge bands to cover classic albums, and they've just announced the next one in their series will be The Downward Spiral. There will also be a companion Best of Nine Inch Nails (Redux) album alongside it.

I can't wait for this to come out.

TRON: Ares released today!

This is a meme I found that I posted to !gothindustrial@lemmy.world but it was Incomplete When I Found It (hey that would make a great album name!) so I added the last three album images and here ya go.

EDIT: I realize nobody will see this, but I've revised the image again to update a couple things I didn't like about it... the images for Not the Actual Events, Hesitation Marks, The Slip, and Pretty Hate Machine didn't make sense to me so I found new ones. I also resized things a bit. I thought about making them all the exactly the same size but I kinda like the slight variations in sizes. Also I re-did the text bc it was getting kinda fried. This is all a waste of time, but I keep thinking of how before Trent did PHM he was a janitor and his old boss said when he mopped the floor he really did a great job. Probably nobody noticed the floor either, but it was really important.

Brilliant show…interesting staging - one in the round and then main stage. Josh killed it for the ~2/3rds of the set time he was on. I suspect with the 1 (!) rehearsal as Trent said he'll pick up more as the tour continues.

Lighting and sound were top notch and killer video effects too.

Go. See it.

From the upcoming Tron: Ares soundtrack

I can't believe I got to see Somewhat Damaged, Heresy and The Perfect Drug live. Honestly, one of the best shows I've ever been to.

I didn't take many pictures, but here's one of the NIN logo projected onto the mesh in front of the main stage:

I am so excited to see them in Manchester tomorrow.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have announced a new music & arts festival set for 8th November 2025, featuring performances from influential film composers.

Tickets go onsale 21st May at 12:00 PT.

I want to take a moment to share my appreciation for Right Where it Belongs. Lately I've been coming back to With Teeth, and I'm feeling a newly-discovered affection for it. Don't get me wrong, I loved it when I first heard it, and listened to it to death. But it didn't stick with me the way the previous albums had. Or so I thought.

A bit of background: With Teeth came out in 2005, when I was halfway through my first year of university. I'd moved out from home and to a different country to study. I was already a NIN fan, having first bought Things Falling Apart and The Fragile 5 years earlier, and quickly catching up with the discography after that. I loved NIN: I started listening right at the time I was forming my own identity and sense of who I was and wanted to be, and those albums really affected me. I would listen to The Fragile every night as I went to sleep, and it's a testament to that album's layering and composition that I can still find something new in that album, 25 years and hundreds of listens on.

There was so much excitement in the NIN fan community in the run-up to With Teeth. NIN lore suggested there would be a new album in 2004 (there were 5 years between The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, so it stood to reason that the new album would be out 5 years after The Fragile, right?). Trent and Rob (Sheridan) had been teasing us with updates to the official website: the new album was called Bleedthrough, it was going to be more raw sounding than The Fragile, less dense. We had already had the live album And All That Could Have Been and a surprise companion release with that: Still, a collection of stripped-down versions of some NIN songs plus a few new original pieces. And the original tracks were heartbreaking. They felt open and honest and they were crushing. Would Bleedthrough be a continuation of that style?

Then things went a bit quiet, and all of the sudden the nin.com teasers disappeared. Then a new update: the new album wasn't going to be called Bleedthrough anymore, its new name was With Teeth.

NIN dropped The Hand That Feeds not long afterwards, and that set the scene for my expectations. I got With Teeth the day it came out and devoted the rest of the day to listening to it

I loved it. It didn't hit me the same way as The Fragile or The Downward Spiral, but it spoke immediately to the kind of things I was going through at the time. I was away from home, studying, trying to find myself. I had recently gone through a break-up that had shaken me, and I was feeling lost. This album came at the perfect time. I was in a bad place and this album was there with me through it.

The first time I heard Right Where it Belongs, it all clicked.

As I was coming out of that space, I stopped listening to With Teeth because it was too connected to those life events. It took a few years to shake that off.

Right Where it Belongs still makes me tear up though. Now it reminds me that I got through those times, and that I'm still here.

Jonathan Rach's photo exhibition "Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral" is being shown in New York between 21st - 23rd February at Morrison Hotel Gallery, 116 Prince St #2nd, New York, NY 10012.

New Tour Announcement (Official)

Listen to the release Queer (Original Score) by Trent Reznor on Qobuz

Edit for Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/3nfT0mV9z3Du714o2rK3I9

Someone has unearthed two demos from the Pretty Hate Machine era: a demo of Sin and a studio version of Maybe Just Once. The only other version of Maybe Just Once is a "live in the studio" recording on the Purest Feeling bootleg, so this newly found version is especially interesting.

It's great to hear these demos, even if they're only 50 second clips.

This exhibition is running in London, UK from 16th-20th October at 2 Hoxton Street, London N1 6NG.

For real I just want something new. I know the challengers was recent but PLEASE the last song attributed to NIN is 2021's "Isn't Everyone", and it's a collaborative song with HEALTH.

Is there any news about their work? Or are Atticus and Trent working on soundtracks for now?
