Nine Inch Nails will release a new EP next week.
‘Not The Actual Events’ is out on December 23. Trent Reznor put the five song release together with long-time soundtrack collaborator Atticus Ross, who has now joined Nine Inch Nails in an official capacity.
“It’s an unfriendly, fairly impenetrable record that we needed to make,” Reznor said. “It’s an EP because that ended up being the proper length to tell that story.”
Reznor, meanwhile, has also confirmed vinyl reissues of the band's back catalogue and the arrival of a new version of ‘The Fragile’. ‘Deviations 1’ will only be available on vinyl and will feature 37 “instrumental, alternate and unreleased tracks”. He added:
“'The Fragile' occupies a very interesting and intimate place in my heart. I was going through a turbulent time in my life when making it and revisiting it has become a form of therapy for me. As an experiment, I removed all the vocals from the record and found it became a truly changed experience that worked on a different yet compelling level. 'The Fragile: Deviations 1' represents Atticus and I embellishing the original record with a number of tracks from those sessions we didn’t use before. The result paints a complementary but different picture we wanted to share.”
