Trent Reznor's new project (it sounds basically like NIN with Trent's wife singing) is called How To Destroy Angels, and they just released their first video. I'm an old-school NIN fan, and I dig it. http://vimeo.com/11754815
Hope this will have an early NIN feel. I miss the rawness that Pretty Hate Machine and Broken had. Skeptical- but kinda dug this.
It's pretty interesting stuff. On a side note, I just packed up about 25 NIN shirts to take to Goodwill today. It was actually easier than I thought it would be.
Has reznor been relevant since the downward spiral? Besides his whole I now look like a gay porn star with my ripped up body and leather sleeveless shirts?
I'm an old school NIN fan... This song isn't anything special, but I enjoyed the video. I'm curious about the EP.
Yup. As I recall it consisted of the sound of swords scraping across each other. The album cover said that the music would raise "male sexual energy." Ah, Coil.
Stole is a bit harsh. Trent is talking about collaborating with Peter Christopherson from Coil on the project, and got the name approved before using it:
Just comes across as a vanity project to me (and I like early nin) meanwhile: If you downloaded the multitrack file of "A Drowning" from remix.nin.com, please re-download it. A background vocal track was missing. http://twitter.com/destroyangels
I thought it was pretty cool. I haven't really paid much attention to NIN since I was about 14, so it was refreshing to hear this stuff. I'll probably pick it up if I'm still moved by it upon its release.
