“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. My forays into film, HTDA and other projects really stimulated me creatively and I decided to focus that energy on taking Nine Inch Nails to a new place. Here we go!”

holy shit - what drivel! that he's been "less than honest," disingenuous, or perversely prevaricating; really has nothing to do with whether this new material will be of any worth. the questionable secrecy certainly won't make the sound any better (or worse). that he feels the need to preface the release with all the hyperbole and pretext makes me skeptical.

i'm intrigued by adrian belew's potential inclusion here - he's even been involved with bands like Caifanes (from mexico city from the 80's-90's) and some christian rock output as well. i love that kind of well-roundness.

As of 5 PM Eastern today, there are a total of 17 bands that Adrian Belew has not been part of. And he's rumored to be in talks with 4 of those.

It’s confirmed: Nine Inch Nails will release a new single this Thursday (June 6) to radio at 11:30 a.m. PDT.
The new song, titled “Came Back Haunted,” “harkens back to early Nine Inch Nails,” says Lisa Worden, Music Director for Los Angeles alternative station KROQ.
“I think it’s in line with the first two albums,” Worden continues. “It’s got a great beat, it’s not the experimental material Trent’s done in the last five years.” Worden indicated the song didn’t strike her as angry. Rather the beat is what made an impression. “I wouldn’t say that it’s dance-y, but it does have a great beat, a groove. Trent [Reznor] really brought it with this song. It’s going to sound amazing to new fans and old. It’s just cool.”
The release of a new album came as a surprise last week when Reznor revealed what he’d been up to.

Yeah, that first album he produced by Jars of Clay was brilliant, and he played bass on "Flood," which was by far the best song they ever did.

Nine Inch Nails' current lineup remains a work in progress. After bassist Eric Avery's departure and the addition of Robin Finck, Adrian Belew (of King Crimson) has announced his exit from NIN's 2013 incarnation.
hey folks, before this goes too far let me say this: I greatly respect trent and the music he makes. no one is at fault. we both agreed it just was not working. I’m sorry to disappoint anyone. that really hurts. but NIN will do an amazing show and I am back where I belong: creating FLUX.
That post has since disappeared from Belew's page, replaced by a shorter note: "concerning me being part of the 2013 Nine Inch Nails band: it didn't work."
Prior to that announcement, Belew had been posting regular updates about the status of rehearsals with Nine Inch Nails, sounding very excited-- but also pointing out possible roadblocks.
For example, he wrote in late April: "today started with an excellent conference call with trent and the entire band. it was all about our work method and how we will manage the monumental work load. it will be a TON of head scratching, but worth every minute!"
Belew's exit announcement comes right after Nine Inch Nails unveiled their grand plans for a massive North American tour this fall, as well as the release of the new NIN album Hesitation Marks.
Recall that Belew was instrumental in this year's reformation of Nine Inch Nails, as explained in a statement from Reznor in February. "I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas... which led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be," he said. Belew does contribute to the album.

I'm curious whether the record will feature contributions from Eric Avery and Adrian Belew, who are currently part of the touring band.

Trent Reznor admits Nine Inch Nails’ lineup problems disrupted his plans for the band – but he believes the end result is all the better as a result.
He announced a “reinvented” version of the band at the beginning of the year, then unveiled a group of musicians including King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew and former Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery.
Last month Avery bowed out, saying he was “overwhelmed” by NIN’s touring commitments. Belew announced his departure at the beginning of June, insisting there had been no fall-out but that “we both agreed it just was not working.”
Now Reznor tells KROQ: “It’s been disruptive.
“I started off with an idea of who would be in the band, and we started working that way. You can spend a lot of time, as I have done, projecting what it’s going to be like with this chemistry and this recipe – and in reality, it rarely is that.
“It turned out to be something different in the case of a couple of people in the band. It’s felt like a wrench in the works at times. But it’s made me rethink a lot, and where we’re ending up at is much truer to what Nine Inch Nails should be – and better, in the long run.”
He’s midway through rehearsals for NIN’s upcoming tour, which includes shows at the Leeds and Reading festivals in August. “The reality of what I’ve gotten myself into is starting to sink in,” he admits, before echoing Avery’s sentiments: “I’m a little overwhelmed.”
But he’s much happier collaborating with others these days, and the band is less of the one-man show it once was. “I’m a little more comfortable in my own skin,” he reflects. “I can be in a room with people who inspire me and intimidate me and hold my own.”
Reznor also explains why he didn’t tell anyone he’d written new album Hesitation Marks until it was complete. “I still owed Interscope a greatest-hits record and there was talk of doing a couple of new tracks for that,” he says.
“I started tinkering around with a couple of songs, and felt inspired by what was happening. A couple of songs led to a couple more, then it was, ‘Let’s make another album.’
“I chose not to announce that in case I didn’t want to release it – It was seizing the moment and running with the inspiration.”
Came Back Haunted was the first track to appear from Hesitation Marks, and Reznor has since shot a video with director David Lynch, set for release in the coming days. “It’s weird, oddly enough,” he deadpans. “It’s a bizarre thing – it’s not like any other video we’ve done, and that’s what we wanted.”
Hesitations Marks is released on September 2.

Belew being thrashy is old hat, dating back to his time with Zappa & Bowie, as well as his first few solo albums. 10 years ago, King Crimson was considered thrashy enough to tour with Tool.

Thanks for sharing the video. Like it alright, but I think I'd imagined it more as a spooky dark photo shoot inside a defunct mental institution (think Danvers, from the movie Session 9). Love this song.

Hesitation Marks was mastered in two different ways - the standard, “loud” mastering (which is what you’ll find on the CD, on iTunes, and everywhere else), and also an alternate “audiophile” mastering, which we’re offering as a free download option for anyone who purchases the album through nin.com. For the majority of people, the standard version will be preferable and differences will be difficult to detect. Audiophiles with high-end equipment and an understanding of the mastering process might prefer the alternate version.
Alan Moulder, who mixed the album, offers a more detailed explanation:
When we were mixing Hesitation Marks we decided to treat the mastering process in a slightly different way to the usual. Since we had tried to treat every other aspect of making this record differently to how we were used to, it seemed to make sense. We were mixing as we went along with the production of each song rather than at the end, so we thought that once we had a song pretty close we would send it off to Tom Baker, our long time serving mastering engineer, to give it some mastering treatment. Normally you wait until the record is finished being recorded and mixed, then take all the mixes to mastering. But we thought doing it again, as we went along, might make us push the process further and spend more time on mastering rather than rush through it at the end. Whilst doing this we became aware of how much low bass information there was on the record. Since that can define how loud of a level the mastering can be, we were faced with a dilemma: do we keep the bass and and have a significantly lower level record, or do we sacrifice the bass for a more competitive level of volume? The biggest issue in mastering these days tends to be how loud can you make your record. It is a fact that when listening back-to-back, loud records will come across more impressively, although in the long run what you sacrifice for that level can be quality and fidelity. So after much discussion we decided to go with two versions. On the main release Tom did exceptional work to maintain the integrity of our mixes and reproduce the low end as much as possible and still get a decent level, although it’s still nowhere as loud as a lot of modern records. The Audiophile Mastered Version is more true to how the mixes sounded to us in the studio when we were working on the songs. Have a listen, turn up the volume and enjoy the experience!
Mastering Engineer Tom Baker adds:
I believe it was Trent’s idea to master the album two different ways, and to my knowledge it has never been done before.
The standard version is “loud” and more aggressive and has more of a bite or edge to the sound with a tighter low end.
The Audiophile Mastered Version highlights the mixes as they are without compromising the dynamics and low end, and not being concerned about how “loud” the album would be. The goal was to simply allow the mixes to retain the spatial relationship between instruments and the robust, grandiose sound.
NOTE: The standard mastered version is in no way inferior to the Audiophile Version - we wouldn’t release something inferior as the default. And vinyl purists rest assured, the vinyl edition was mastered to sound the very best for that format. The Audiophile Version is merely an alternate take on the mastering, which some people will appreciate. It’s meant to give a slightly different experience, not denigrate the standard version. Listen to each and come to your own conclusions.
If you ordered any format of Hesitation Marks from nin.com, you’ll be able to download one or both mastering versions, in whichever formats you prefer (MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless, and WAV), beginning September 3rd.
