Trent Reznor has announced a new line-up for Nine Inch Nails after a 4-year hiatus. The band will be hitting the road later this year and in 2014 with a new album to come in the future. Reznor says two new songs will be making it onto the bands Greatest Hits compilation due out in 2014. Hit the jump to read the statement released via Pitchfork.
In the meantime, Reznor is still working with his wife, Mariqueen Maandig, on How to Destroy Angels. The duo will be releasing their debut, Welcome Oblivion, on March 5th via Columbia Records.
Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.
I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.
The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.
Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.
