Nine Inch Nails 'Hesitation Marks' Leak? Album Streaming Ahead of September Release Date [VIDEO]
The new Nine Inch Nails album, Hesitation Marks, is up for streaming on iTunes now, ahead of its Sept. 3 release.
As the album name suggests, the record deals with themes of suicide and self-destruction. Lead singer Trent Reznor said 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, though that doesn't mean the sound won't have rough edges. "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.
Reznor debuted the third single, Everything, from the band's upcoming album on Aug. 20 during an interview with BBC Radio One host Zane Lowe. The song is currently up for streaming at NPR.
The band also released Copy of A, the second single from Hesitation Marks, as a digital download. The video for the album's first single, Came Back Haunted, was directed by David Lynch.
