Nine Inch Nails are at work on their fourth album, Bleed Through, in Los Angeles. Trent Reznor and Co. hope to finish it by summer and release it later this year.

"It's more song-oriented [than 1999's The Fragile]," says NIN mastermind Reznor. "It's much more lean. It's going to be twelve good punches in the face -- no fillers, no instrumentals, just straight to the point."

Rick Rubin (Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys, Johnny Cash) is producing the record. "It's kind of a new vibe this time around," says Reznor. "Different people, different approach.

While Bleed may be more streamlined than its predecessors, namely the expansive concept records 1994's The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, it won't exactly be light fare. "It's a complicated concept record," Reznor says, "but reduced to just simple songs. It's not epic in its scope. It's minimal and a bit brutal."

NIN plan to hit the road in the next few months to preview the new material. "It's been forever since we played," Reznor says. "I'm reenergized right now, my life's in order, and I'm ready to combat the shitty music that's out right now."

My only beef is that I really like the epic and expansive sound that Spiral and Fragile have... going back to a reduced PHM sound might be a step backwards. 'Course I say that w/o having heard a lick of the new album. I'm sure it'll totally rock.

I really liked the last two albums too, but even if it's back towards the simplicity of Broken & PHM I don't really care. It'll still kick ass, they'll still tour, and I'll still finally get to see them live.

The NIN website has new stuff on it now...

http://www.nin.com/

The Q&A transcripts are great... one of the best:

Q: "You seem to be an intensely private and isolated person. yet you can scrape out your soul and present the results to millions of people. what gives?

Trent: "shy, loner misfit type writes personal lyrics from journal figuring the world won't notice. world unexpectedly notices. shy, loner misfit type retreats further feeling unnaturally exposed."

I agree, the instrumentals were the best tracks.

What's interesting, if you read through some of the transcripts on the website, is that Trent might be splitting his music up into different directions... separate instrumental and rock/vocal (or whatever you want to call it) projects.

You're supposed to link directly to the news.

Anyway, it seems that they spent a bunch of time on the 10t anniversary Downward Spiral release... I wonder if it's worth pick it up. I've already got all the "b-side" songs they're including with it... but the whole thing's been remastered. How do you remaster noise?

Also, it looks like "closure" is finally coming on DVD, but there are legal troubles getting it released. So it will probably only take them 11 more years to get it out.

Anyway. Halo 19 is called "With Teeth". It should be out 5/3/05... I had to read the friggen Q&A section to find that out. , but Trent seems angrier than ever.... the new album should be fun.

I obviously need a brush-up on my intarweb etiquette.

Trent's Q&A is killing me:

[sp00ln]

Dont make fun of Japanese people!!! Thats probably what I sound like when I speak Japanese!

I'm not.... Trent Reznor is. And he's allowed to make fun of anyone, because he's got more than the government allocated amount of angst.

[sperry]

Yeah, so NIN is playing Reno on March 24th. Tickets sold out in about 10 minutes. I didn't get any. Fuck that.

<-- is going to have to pay eBay prices for seats, but refuses to miss the show.

[AtomicLabMonkey]

Goddammit. Let me know if you find any, I may have you snag tickets for me & Laura if possible. I need to see NIN at least once in my life.

[sperry]

Leaked track...

Halo 18 - With Teeth - Track 11 - "The Line Begins to Blur" (8.5MB)

...not all that great as a standalone song, but who knows how it fits in context w/ the rest of the album.
