Trent Reznor Plans Nine Inch Nails Return

Trent Reznor plans to return to active service in his old job as Nine Inch Nails this year, after spending most of his time working on soundtracks in recent years.

In an interview with Billboard, Reznor said he was getting ready to work on new NIN material, but was not yet sure what form the music would take. “It’s all kind of hypothetical right now,” Reznor said. “When I sit down with a notebook and a little mini-recorder is when my bluff will be called, and then it might not happen at all.”

Reznor admitted he was at first unsure whether to use the Nine Inch Nails name for the new material. “At the moment it’s going to live in the Nine Inch Nails column, for a few reasons. I enjoy the challenge of moving that kind of brand forward, that identity, shaping it to who I am now instead of who I was a few years ago when I last left off.”

Nine Inch Nails have been in mothballs since 2009. Reznor’s recent works include the soundtracks to the David Fincher films The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as well as his other band, How to Destroy Angels, with wife Mariqueen Maandig and Atticus Ross. How to Destroy Angels’ first full-length album also is due this year. There is no word yet on whether Reznor plans to bring NIN back to the live stage as well.

Trent Reznor Plans New NIN Music in 2012

Trent Reznor has recently been immersed in movie soundtracks. His music for David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo movie is three hours long – longer than the film itself.

But Reznor has told BBC Radio One that he would be writing with Nine Inch Nails “in mind” next year. “I’ll spend a good portion of 2012 writing for Nine Inch Nails,” he says. “Let’s see what happens.”

Of his NIN hiatus, also interrupted by his other band How to Destroy Angels, Reznor reflects: “I need[ed] to commit to doing something different, and that doesn’t mean I’m not going to return to Nine Inch Nails at some point.

“But I find myself pushed and pulled back into the same routine of album, tour, album, tour, album, tour, while a list of things I’d like to try and do in life sits untouched on the table.”

In 2009, Reznor said that Nine Inch Nails would be winding down and no longer play live. After a break, it looks like he may be rethinking.

On The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Reznor and Karen O cover Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.” It is free to download now via iTunes. The soundtrack for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is out December 9.
