Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

[Carn]

NINE INCH NAILS has set "Year Zero" as the title of its new album, which is due out in April and follows up 2005's "With Teeth". "It could be about the end of the world," the band's mastermind Trent Reznor wrote on the official NIN fan club web site The Spiral.

In a recent interview with England's Kerrang! magazine, Reznor described the upcoming album's as "a collage of sound type of thing, not heavy in a metal guitar kind of way." He added, "With this record I feel a lot less concerned about what people think about it — especially the dying record industry. I couldn't care less about that right now." Reznor also revealed that the new effort is a concept album and "part of a bigger picture of a number of things I'm working on. Essentially I wrote the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist."

Reznor said that most of the album was recorded "in hotel rooms around the world on laptops," with very few musicians beside himself and "maybe some surprise vocalists that pop up here and there."

When asked why the new record took less than two years to arrive when the last one took six, Reznor said, "I'm probably as surprised as some fans are (laughs). But really it's just a matter of discipline. When I was on the last tour, to keep myself busy I was just really hunkered down and was working on music the whole time, so this kept me in a creative mode and when I finished the tour I felt like I wasn't tired and wanted to keep at it."

NINE INCH NAILS will release a DVD called "Beside You In Time" on February 27. The disc documents the band's tour in support of "With Teeth".

as usual, Ik ben èrg benieuwd. Ik vond With Teeth absoluut niet een "geniale comeback" ook al staan er een paar supertracks op.

[Uice]

Nou, ik ben ook wel benieuwd maar had toch wel gehoopt dat ie weer wat meer ging gitareren.

[Mark-The-Local-Hero]

Ben benieuwd of we de komende tour, waarin NIN in maart 3x Nederland aandoet, al wat nieuwe nummers te horen zullen krijgen, of dat ze vasthouden aan de Amerikaanse 2e With_Teeth setlist, met hooguit 1-3 nummers die nieuw zijn.

Nine Inch Nails is currently mixing its new album, "Year Zero", for an April release. In a January 11, 2007 posting on on the official Nin fan club web site The Spiral, the band's mastermind Trent Reznor wrote, "While mixing, I spend most of my time Not in the control room to allow myself some objectivity when it comes time to listen to the progress of a track. During that time, I'm working on the new set list, tour production, thinking about tracks that aren't being mixed yet, working on a few things Nin-related I can't tell you about yet, finishing Saul's record, and occasionally checking in on you people online.

"Let me clear a few things up so some of you don't kill yourselves (or maybe you now will). This is not a fucking hip hop record, for fuck's sake. I imagine my referring to old Public Enemy records as an influence and the fact I'm working with Saul sparked that. To clarify what I meant by being influenced by Public Enemy: Hank Shocklee's 'Bomb Squad' had a unique and highly influential way of constructing tracks — layers of samples and loops that combined together to form something chaotic and new. Do not expect Flavor Flav to appear here.

"While we're at it, I wouldn't consider Saul's record to be labeled hip hop either. Certainly there is an influence there but his record reaches far beyond the confines of what I consider a dying genre.

"As far as the sound and content of my new record, you'll see and hear soon enough. I am certain some of you will Hate it. I am also certain some of you will find it the best thing I've ever done. It is different in a number of ways and it is who I am now.

"I am creating right now and I do not care what the record label or marketing people think about what I'm doing. I also do not care what the public think about what I'm doing. I certainly appreciate your patronage — and I Hope you will get and enjoy what I'm working on, but I will not patronize you or pander to what you want. I assure you I am pouring every ounce of my life, heart and soul into this and it will be the best work I am capable of — and that's all I can do."

In a recent interview with England's Kerrang! magazine, Reznor described the upcoming album's as "a collage of sound type of thing, not heavy in a metal guitar kind of way." He added, "With this record I feel a lot less concerned about what people think about it — especially the dying record industry. I couldn't care less about that right now."

Ik zeg 17 april, aangezien dat de release date voor Year Zero is.

[TommytheCat]

Ik ben in ieder geval erg benieuwd en vond, volgens mij in tegenstelling tot de meesten hier, With Teeth een erg puike plaat.

[Mark-The-Local-Hero]

Ik vond With_Teeth zeker ook goed. Vooral Only en Sunspots vond ik eruit springen. Diegene die dat album wat minder vonden missen die grootsheid/eenheid van The Fragile denk ik. Het nr. Just like you imagined vind ik dan ook perfect passen bij de trailer van 300, zo'n epische battlefilm.
Ik kan iig beide platen erg goed waarderen.
Hoop wel op wat leukere clips dan bij de afgelopen singles. Technisch gezien was de clip van Only topnotch, alleen beetje saai na 3x kijken. Dan was de clip van bijv. een We're in this together vele malen interessanter.

UP!

[axgimpa]

Ik hoop toch gvd wel dat die Reznor met wat leukers komt dan WT. Kon/kan die plaat echt niet waarderen (op Only, de titeltrack en The Hand That Feeds na dan)..

Trauma's... (artiesten waarvan ik cd A waardeer, gaan later 'een andere richting in' en brengen de verschrikkelijke opvolger, cd B, uit).

TDS is nog steeds mijn grote liefde.

[Carn]

een nummer is online te vinden, genaamd "my violent heart".

Het is "gelekt" toen een fan een usb-stick "vond" na een concert...hoezo clever marketing

Ome Trent is ook weer leuk beziggeweest met frequenties, gezien dit spectogram:



" "Maybe it's not important at all or whatever, but I just came home from the first Madrid show, and I happened to find a flash drive in the bathroom and... guess... Yeah, I have now "My Violent Heart" too, from NIN's (roadies) very hands!! I'll take a better pic, I promise. Had to scan it. Nothing fancy, just a flash drive. It was just "strange" finding it in the men's bathroom...
Yeah, mens bathroom. I actually thought for a second when I found it it was strange, and maybe it was a roadie's cam memory card or something. I hoped it was interesting, but never thought it was an actual new song!!"


This is the second known found nin-flash drive. Contained in the comments for the id3 of this drives' My Violent Heart was the following:

"found in men's bathroom, corner by first urinal, la riviera, madrid, spain"

[Mark-The-Local-Hero]

Vind het nr wel lekker klinken, Downward Spiral liefhebbers diggen het ook wel weer meer dan de meeste nr's van With_Teeth vermoed ik zo.

[Uice]

Hm, had ook wel op With teeth kunnen staan, maar dan wel als positieve uitschieter.

[Ce-El-Wan]

gave track,

en ik snap wat iedereen nou zo bitcht over With Teeth, gave plaat.

[Carn]

dit is wel weer een erg dikke campagne.

al die sites zijn ook megavet
en dan een telefoon nummer met voiceclip enzo.
w00t w00t

jaaa ik ga toch naar het concert (L)

Survivalism + My Violent Heart

[Metal]

yo smørn, ik houd me nog steeds aanbevolen voor dat kaartje, da wittege hè!

[Uice]

Survalism, ook lekker, maar heeft niet genoeg edge, vind ik. Te netjes. Reznor groeit ook voor geen fuck qua vocals. Refrein klinkt een beetje Korny.

[Uice]

De tracks:

Spoiler

01 hyperpower!
02 the beginning of the end
03 survivalism
04 the good soldier
05 vessel
06 me, i'm not
07 capital g
08 my violent heart
09 the warning
10 god given
11 meet your master
12 the greater good
13 the great destroyer
14 another version of the truth
15 in this twilight
16 zero-sum

Ach, misschien willen mensen zich goed op het lezen voorbereiden.

[Uice]

Overigens wordt de show in Paradiso echt vet.

[Rollo Tomasi]

Mja, helaas geen kaartje weten te bemachtigen.

[Ce-El-Wan]

da's dan mooi stom, want voor de show in tilburg waren nog vrij lang kaarten te krijgen.

[Uice]

Paradiso > 013

Ja, van die show was ik dus niet op de hoogte.

[Mark-The-Local-Hero]

Weer nieuw nummer, getiteld Me, I'm not en een noise-code expres gelekt:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H82O0M0S

[Carn]

tof.

Na deze 3 nummers moet ik toch steeds aan Broken denken.

[Uice]

Mwoah, dat nummer is net zo niksig als veel van de With teeth nummers.

“Year Zero” Project = Way Cooler Than “Lost”

It is no longer 2007. According to Nine Inch Nails’ Year Zero mania sweeping the internation, we’re almost three months into -15 BA (Born Again). In the semi-terrifying world of Trent Reznor’s new future-based concept album, the year 2022 is Year Zero, the year we were “Born Again.” Every 12 months prior to Year Zero is denoted by negatives, thus 2007 is -15 BA. If this confuses you, give up now.

In what has to be the most innovative promotion scheme since the leaked sex tape, NIN have treated their fans to a sort of Where’s Waldo game that includes tour merchandising, a dizzying network of websites and, umm, bathrooms in European concert halls. We’d be lying if we said we weren’t checking echoingthesound, the main fan checkpoint, every hour to see what the latest update is.

In case you’ve been living under a rock (without internet), let us catch you up:

It all started with a NIN tour T-shirt. An overeager fan realized that the bolded letters on the back formed a phrase: iamtryingtobelieve, which if you add a .com to the end of it, takes us to the first piece of the puzzle. Here, we learn about the drug Parepin, which has been added to the water supplies of Orlando as protection against similar acts of bio-terrorism against Los Angeles and Anaheim in 2009 (or -13 BA…try to keep up). This site speculates whether Parepin is a medium for the government to control the minds of its citizens. When you email the site owner, who has stopped using the drug because of his conspiracy beliefs, you get this email back:

Auto-reply from water@iamtryingtobelieve.com wrote:

Thank you for your interest. It is now clear to me that Parepin is a completely safe and effective agent developed to protect us from bio-terrorism. The Administration is acting purely in the best interests of its citizens; to suggest otherwise was irresponsible and I deeply regret it.

I’m drinking the water. So should you.

OK, seems pretty clear we should avoid the water. The next site to emerge was Anotherversionofthetruth.com. The site seems innocent enough, until you click and drag the main page pictures, revealing another, more disturbing, picture underneath. When the under-picture is totally revealed, a link takes you to a message board. We can tell you what is discussed on the message board (a new drug called Opal, the introduction of the Angry Sniper character, and disturbing pictures of “The Presence”), but you should really check it out yourself. It’s complex.

Here, we should introduce you to “The Presence,” an ongoing motif in the game and the subject of Year Zero’s cover (above). “The Presence” is literally a giant fucking four-fingered hand that, supposedly, came out of the sky. It’s speculated that “The Presence” is everything from a giant tornado to the impending rapture to a government ploy used to scare its citizens. Whatever it is, it looks foreboding.

How are these sites found? Well, that’s where European rest rooms come in. Throughout NIN’s European tour, members of whatever all-star marketing squad is behind all this have been leaving USB drives in random concert venues. The drives are filled with new NIN songs (”My Violent Heart” and “Me, I’m Not”), cryptic mp3s and pictures visible only via spectrographs. These files if deciphered correctly also provide us playing the game with the next clue/website.

Want to know if your bathroom is going to be raided? Those ingenious posters at echoingthesound have discovered that every time a pixel blob appears next to one of the songs listed here, you should hit the toilets early for a chance of grabbing one of these drives.

There are several other sites that are pieces to the puzzles. All the sites provide subtle details into this whole game. This is a summary of what they contain:

Churchofplano.com discusses “The Presence” and introduces us to a Year Zero-era religion. The Church of Plano discusses donating land to the 105th Airborne Crusaders, which led someone to find this site…

105thairbornecrusaders.com: The “Angry Sniper” mentions he served under this unit of “Soldiers of God Under the US Flag.” The Angry Sniper might be the main narrator in Reznor’s scheme. He is the most reoccurring character in this story and after serving time in the military, finds himself entrenched in the “Resistance.” His experiences from both fringes of society make him an ideal candidate to tell Reznor’s complex story.

Bethehammer.net is apparently a resistance site maintained by the Angry Sniper. Here, you’ll find numerous stories showing how America has gone even further downhill in a post-George W. Bush era.

Consolidatedmailsystems.com/nooneimportant/: This site talks about the drug Opal, a black liquid which, when injected into the eye, makes the white of the eyes turn black and produces euphoric and hallucinogenic effects. Notice that cool drawing of “The Presence” buried under the text.

Uswiretap.com/71839J/: This site contains a transcript between two law enforcement agents. Hidden somewhere on this site is text from Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughter-House Five (another of these pages contains excerpts from Tolkein’s The Hobbit.) US Wiretap also provides us with the phone number (216) 333-1810, which when dialed, plays a tapped conversation that sounds like a girl witnessing a massacre at a concert. We think. This is a Cleveland phone number (Trent’s hometown). You know that fact has to be significant, right? How it fits in scheme of things remains to be seen.

Artisresistance.com/: The newest site to reveal itself (as of 1:30 p.m., 2/22, -15BA). Want to resist? Make art. This site provides resisters (and fans) with desktop backgrounds, AIM icons, stickers, posters, etc etc…ingredients of bringing this story into our current, physical world. So if you see a bunch of posters bearing these symbols stapled to telephone poles, well, then you live near a NIN fan.

Of course, no maze is complete without a few wrong turns. The site opalescenthaze.com drew something close to death threats when it was unmasked as a hoax. And then there’s the poor fellow who runs inthistwilight.com — the name of a Year Zero song. This site drew so much digging into the domain owner’s private life, he posted on a NIN message board begging everyone to leave him alone.

So what’s the next clue? This shit is more confusing than Lost, so tell us what you think its all about. Stay tuned…

Cool

[Ce-El-Wan]

nieuwe track: in this twilight


geruchten gaan dat er geen officiele albumrelease komt, aangezien Trent zoveel gefuck met interscope heeft gehad dat ie t album maar gratis weggeeft. met op de releasedatum de laatste gelekte track. We wachten in spanning af

[Carn]

dat lijkt me erg sterk, maar goed. Anders gewoon in eigen beheer ala Stuck Mojo, afzet genoeg Ik vind het overigens een van de betere tracks tot nu toe!
