Nine Inch Nails not finished, says Reznor

By | Published on Friday 7 May 2010

Trent Reznor has assured fans that he hasn’t abandoned Nine Inch Nails, despite launching a new project, How To Destroy Angels. As previously reported, the new group, which also features Reznor’s wife Mariqueen Maandig and long term collaborator Atticus Ross, will release an EP later this year.

In a Q&A session on the How To Destroy Angels Facebook page, Reznor said: “This [HTDA] EP is the results of early collaboration. We were going to use all of 2010 to experiment and gestate but liked the early results and decided to share them. Next up is a full LP ([tentatively scheduled for release in] early 2011) and then MAYBE some degree of touring. This EP is a very early phase of this project. Yes, it sounds more NIN-ish than I believe it will as we progress. To me, HTDA frees me from some of the constraints I’ve begun to feel (primarily emotionally) in NIN. NIN is not dead and I am about to work on some material that I believe will be quite different than previous NIN very soon”.

The first single by How To Destroy Angels was premiered on the Pitchfork website earlier this week and is available to buy through Amazon’s download store now.
