Nine Inch Nails frontman, Trent Reznor, debuted a new song, Everything, from the band's upcoming album during an interview with BBC Radio One host Zane Lowe, yesterday. The song is currently up for streaming at NPR.

The band's new album, Hesitation Marks, is scheduled for release on Sep. 3 on Columbia records.

The track is rather stripped-down, -- a far cry from the trademark industrial rock of NIN -- splicing some straight-up Nineties-styled alt-grunge with the buoyancy of pop-punk.

As the album name (Hesitation Marks) suggests, the record deals with themes of suicide and self-destruction. "I survive everything/I have tried everything," Reznor streams optimism with his lilting vocals as he sings on the track. "I am home, I am free."

Reznor has said that the album revisits the band's sound on the Downward Spiral (1994). The musician composed most of the album on his laptop.

"It feels sparse, and it feels minimal," he said about the album in a Rolling Stone interview. But that doesn't mean the sound won't have rough edges, he went onto clarify in the interview, "I don't think it's a gentle record. I do think it's more subversive in how it gets you."

"It's not about everything being at 11 and the pyrotechnics of sound and scare tactics, which I've definitely used in the past. But it doesn't feel like the middle-aged, I've-given-up record either," he added.

This will be the band's first album in five years, the last one being 2008's The Slip.

Last week, the band released Copy of A, the second single from Hesitation Marks, as a digital download.
