Nine Inch Nails Bite Back

Trent Reznor keeps up the aggression on "With Teeth"



"I had plenty of life experience to draw from while working on this record," says Trent Reznor of With Teeth, Nine Inch Nails' first album in six years. "I was getting sane while the world was going crazy."
Due May 3rd, the follow-up to 1999's The Fragile bristles with as much aggression as anything in the NIN catalog while adding more live drumming into the mix, courtesy of honorary Nailsman Dave Grohl.

"I wrote some of these tracks with a Grohl-esque performance in mind," says Reznor. "I asked him if he was into it and that was that."

Stellar tracks include "Only," which boasts a "Billie Jean" beat and spoken-word vocals that evoke Prince, and "The Hand That Feeds" (the first single), which combines a guitar assault with New Wave-y keyboards. Says Reznor, "This record is probably more honest than anything I've done."

Trent Reznor and the new Nine Inch Nails lineup -- guitarist Aaron North, bassist Jeordie White, keyboardist Allesandro Cortini and drummer Jerome Dillon -- will kick off a North American theater tour in April.

Even a reference to Prince. I can't wait for NIN to come to MPLS! According to their website they will be announcing an extensive North American Tour for the fall.
