Nine Inch Nails To Release New EP <strong><em>Not The Actual Events</em></strong>

Leslie Cheung almost 8 years ago

Nine Inch Nails will self-release new EP Not The Actual Events on December 23. Longtime collaborator Atticus Ross, who is now an official member of the band, and Trent Reznor recorded the new music together.

"It's an unfriendly, fairly impenetrable record that we needed to make", says Reznor. "It's an EP because that ended up being the proper length to tell that story."

Not The Actual Events tracklisting:

Branches/Bones
Dear World
She's Gone Away
The Idea Of You
Burning Bright (Field On Fire)

The duo also re-recorded the band's 1999 album The Fragile as The Fragile: Deviations 1. The one-off limited edition 4-LP album contains instrumentals, alternate versions and previously unheard music from the original recording sessions. The album comes with a high resolution digital download.
