Nine Inch Nails have surprise released two new albums.
Without prior warning, 'Ghost V:Together' and 'Ghosts VI: Locusts' have been shared on nin.com — where you can download them for free — and YouTube.
A note from band leader Trent Reznor and his frequent collaborator Atticus Ross states that both records will be available on all streaming services later today (March 26). Meanwhile, head below to listen to Letting Go While Holding On, the subtle and atmospheric opener for 'Ghosts V: Together'.
Nine Inch Nails' last new release under the band's name was 2018's 'Bad Witch', though Reznor and Ross have continued working together on separate projects.
Earlier this year Nine Inch Nails were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, though the ceremony has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
FRIENDS-
WEIRD TIMES INDEED…
AS THE NEWS SEEMS TO TURN EVER MORE GRIM BY THE HOUR, WE’VE FOUND OURSELVES VACILLATING WILDLY BETWEEN FEELING LIKE THERE MAY BE HOPE AT TIMES TO UTTER DESPAIR – OFTEN CHANGING MINUTE TO MINUTE. ALTHOUGH EACH OF US DEFINE OURSELVES AS ANTISOCIAL-TYPES WHO PREFER BEING ON OUR OWN, THIS SITUATION HAS REALLY MADE US APPRECIATE THE POWER AND NEED FOR CONNECTION.
MUSIC – WHETHER LISTENING TO IT, THINKING ABOUT IT OR CREATING IT – HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE THING THAT HELPED US GET THROUGH ANYTHING – GOOD OR BAD. WITH THAT IN MIND, WE DECIDED TO BURN THE MIDNIGHT OIL AND COMPLETE THESE NEW GHOSTS RECORDS AS A MEANS OF STAYING SOMEWHAT SANE.
GHOSTS V: TOGETHER IS FOR WHEN THINGS SEEM LIKE IT MIGHT ALL BE OKAY, AND GHOSTS VI: LOCUSTS… WELL, YOU’LL FIGURE IT OUT.
IT MADE US FEEL BETTER TO MAKE THESE AND IT FEELS GOOD TO SHARE THEM. MUSIC HAS ALWAYS HAD A WAY OF MAKING US FEEL A LITTLE LESS ALONE IN THE WORLD… AND HOPEFULLY IT DOES FOR YOU, TOO. REMEMBER, EVERYONE IS IN THIS THING TOGETHER AND THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN SOON.
BE SMART AND SAFE AND TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER.
ALBUMS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING SERVICES TONIGHT
