Trent Reznor announces some extremely exciting news about Nine Inch Nails

As a long-time Nine Inch Nails devotee with memories etched deep into the vinyl grooves of their albums, I can’t help but feel my heart race at the news of their return to the big screen. Since Bad Witch graced our speakers back in 2018, it’s been a musical drought for those of us who thrive on the raw, industrial energy that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross unleash.


The latest Nine Inch Nails album resembling a typical release was “Bad Witch” in 2018. However, it’s important to note that nothing about NIN is ever conventional. In 2020, they put out two LPs, but these were special releases made during the pandemic for fans. As a matter of fact, Trent Reznor and his bandmates abandoned traditional studio album releases quite some time ago, and it’s unlikely that they will revert to this approach in the future.

Fans of Reznor and his frequent collaborator Atticus Ross haven’t stopped creating new tunes, they’ve actually released a significant amount. A majority of this new music has been associated with film soundtracks, though, so those hoping for another Downward Spiral might be disappointed as it isn’t forthcoming in that format.

It’s only fair that they shouldn’t, similar to one of Reznor’s idols, David Bowie. Just like Bowie, the artist is genuinely creative. He won’t compromise for temporary fame through a few popular songs. He earns sufficient income from writing for films, which also enables him to articulate himself more freely than he could at earlier stages in his career.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will create the music for the new Tron film as Nine Inch Nails

Furthermore, let me emphasize this point: Reznor and Ross are exceptionally skilled at their craft. Instead of producing empty, insignificant sounds, they invest time in creating authentic music. This commitment to meaningful art is consistent with Reznor’s character, as he values sincerity in his work. In fact, he seems to believe that genuine artistic expression requires a profound exploration of themes seldom delved into by others. In essence, the absence of meaning would contradict the very nature of art, which thrives on the intent of the artist to explore and express the uncharted realms of human experience.

Exciting update! Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won’t only compose the soundtrack for the upcoming Tron movie; it will be credited under Nine Inch Nails rather than their individual names. The film is titled “Tron: Ares” and boasts a star-studded cast including Jared Leto, Gillian Anderson, and Evan Peters, with others yet to be announced. Mark your calendars for the release on October 10, 2025!

As a die-hard fan, what truly gets my heart racing is the prospect of bearing the name Nine Inch Nails rather than just Reznor and Ross. This unique identity might just mean we’re in store for fresh tracks that shatter our realities, or even the Tron universe. Regardless, it’s the music enthusiasts who truly reap the rewards.
