Someone has unearthed two demos from the Pretty Hate Machine era: a demo of Sin and a studio version of Maybe Just Once. The only other version of Maybe Just Once is a "live in the studio" recording on the Purest Feeling bootleg, so this newly found version is especially interesting.

It's great to hear these demos, even if they're only 50 second clips.

This exhibition is running in London, UK from 16th-20th October at 2 Hoxton Street, London N1 6NG.

For real I just want something new. I know the challengers was recent but PLEASE the last song attributed to NIN is 2021's "Isn't Everyone", and it's a collaborative song with HEALTH.

Is there any news about their work? Or are Atticus and Trent working on soundtracks for now?

An interview with Alexander Ridha (Boys Noize) about the creation of his Challengers soundtrack mix.

I saw this posted to r/nin and had to share it here.

Also known as 'Head Like A Hole (NMS 10 Sampler version)', this mix of 'Head Like A Hole' was exclusive to a TVT Records cassette sampler released for the 1989 New Music Seminar NMS 10 (credited as "The Nine Inch Nails"). This longer version is mixed by John Fryer before the release of Pretty Hate Machine (album version is mixed by Keith LeBlanc instead).

It is an early, pre-album release mix and features several differences: the main snare sound is different, the breakdown after the second chorus is longer and has a more prominent synth percussion.

Song Credits: Co-Produced by: Flood, Trent Reznor Mixed by: John Fryer Track Length: 5:50

It's an interesting mix, there's a more prominent synth bassline during the chorus and I think the samples sit a bit higher too. I can see why the mix used on the album version won out though: the sharpness of the drums and guitars give the track a bit more energy and it's a great album opener.

Trent Reznor interviewing David Dastmalchian. It's a nice glimpse of where both people are at in their life.

This has to be one of my favourite live performances. I'd have loved to have been there.

A few days late, but happy birthday to The Downward Spiral!

"I could write a book on the amount of crazy, fun times I had all the way back to Nine Inch Nails."

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross members of U2 and songs from the Barbie soundtrack are among the nominees for the 2023 Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

Nine Inch Nails' track "The Becoming" tops the spooky list

This won't be controversial at all.

Not directly nine inch nails related but I think nin fans would like to know

Charlie Clouser knows that the Saw movies aren’t for everybody. “It has its dedicated little weirdo fanbase that is rabid about it, but it’s very much a niche within a niche, and it’s become even more so as the franchise evolved.”

It’s an evolution he’s gotten to observe intimately, as the composer who’s worked on every film since the original Saw, released 19 years ago this October. And with Saw X, Clouser breaks a big record, as he’s now the first American to score 10 films within the same franchise — beating John Williams’ iconic run on nine Star Wars films.

I've not had a very good day.

But sitting in a comfy chair, some soft lighting on, with this album playing is helping to soothe the jagged edges.of today.

There's a reason I keep coming back to Nine Inch Nails, and it's because there's a track or album for whatever I'm feeling.
