Nine Inch Nails have returned with their new EP, ADD VIOLENCE, out via Caroline AustraliaThe five-song collection is the second in a series of three related EPs – the first of which, Not The Actual Events, was released in December of 2016. 

ADD VIOLENCE finds the band (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) becoming more accessible and impenetrable at the same time. The sonic palette expands significantly from Not The Actual Events, incorporating elements of beauty into the dark dissonance. The narrative arc linking the three records begins to emerge through the disassociated lyrics and the provocative and clue-filled cover artwork and accompanying physical component.

“Disconcerting synths, screeching guitars, and Trent Reznor’s distinctive snarl: Must be new Nine Inch Nails,” said Entertainment Weekly, which praised the new single “LESS THAN” as “another stellar NIN jam that doubles as anxiety-inducing freak-out and alt-rock radio catnip.” The New York Times noted, It’s nervous electro pulse and intensifying salvos of guitar noise hark back all the way to the Nine Inch Nails of ‘Head Like a Hole’ from its 1989 debut album.” NPR Music lauded its “cinematic pop sheen” while Noisey observed, “It’s upbeat but dark and heavy in that signature NIN way, and Trent Reznor’s vocals are as much of an aural razor blade as they’ve always been.”
 
Rolling Stone heralded “THIS ISN’T THE PLACE,” another track from ADD VIOLENCE, as “brooding and unsettling.” Consequence of Sound found it “intriguing” and Brooklyn Vegan observed, “It’s more proof that there’s no telling what moves Trent Reznor & co will pull in 2017.”

Nine Inch Nails’ sold-out, July 19 show at Bakersfield’s Rabobank Arena marked the band’s first live performance since 2014. Nine Inch Nails will headline FYF Fest in Los Angeles on July 23, followed by headlining slots at Panorama in New York City, Riot Fest in Chicago and Aftershock Fest in Sacramento.
