Trent Reznor Plans Future Nine Inch Nails Work
- Posted on May 7th 2010 10:30AM by Mike Ayers
With news of Trent Reznor's How to Destroy Angels project surfacing this week, he and his wife, Mariqueen Maandig, took to Facebook for a chat about their new band and Nine Inch Nails' future. As Rolling Stone points reports, Reznor says that his most famous project isn't dead, but that he's about to change things up and "work on some material that I believe will be quite different than previous NIN very soon." We're not sure what that means, but we won't hold our breath waiting for an a cappella album.
As for Angels, Reznor speculated that they could have a full-length out next year and are flirting with the idea of touring. Reznor also said that the EP that's coming this summer was the result of some "early collaborations," possibly meaning that this project has been gestating for awhile. They plan on logging more studio time, too, where "experimentation" is paramount. He also confirms that the band is essentially a trio, with Reznor, Maandig and NIN contributor Atticus Ross.
The first single, 'A Drowning,' was also shared with fans this week and is currently streaming at Pitchfork. The song features Reznor's trademark industrial influences but is driven by Maandig's vocals and a slow, serene tempo. She sounds lush, poised and confident -- and why shouldn't she be? Reznor's a dude who knows his way around a studio or two. The song isn't anything aggressive or overworked and if the rest of the EP continues in this line, Reznor could find himself with a whole new fan base.

The music was NIN without trent. I thought that her voice was unemotional. It is a sin to sing the lyrics without the feeling trent puts into it. I think i just realized i like trent's voice.

I can't believe Reznor is putting Nine Inch Nals on the burner for this crappy music. It was so mediocre I thought I was going to fall asleep. Mariqueen's voice is barely passable. His music is always the same...this shit sounds like Ghosts and the Fragile. If this is the song that's going to be released as a single, well, it's not saying much for the rest of the CD.

It's lame honestly. I Listened, tried to give it a chance. I didn't like it because the girl has a horrible voice, but everyone's taste differs. Heck, I even put it on at my party last night and got looked at like an Idiot. Nobody liked it and mocked it for 10 minutes. It was annoying. Her voice put everyone to sleep and it was a cool party before that. It's just a strange track, as if your mind is being overtaken because her vocals are so flat and dull.
It's like Reznor went out looking one day for a horrible singer and she fit the bill. Doesn't seem like much thought went into it. After my listen to this song I don't want to hear the EP. The person who said this is not something they expected Reznor to do is absolutely right. I loved Saul Williams' record and I've loved basically everything Trent has ever done. I just assumed that when he finally got that "girl singer" he talked about years ago, she'd actually have charisma and most of all a kick a** voice. I'm sad I was wrong actually. The people buying this right now are people like me who believed in his talents, they aren't buying because the music is good.

WINGS was a beautiful collaboration between Paul and Linda. This is not something one would expect the creator and king of hard core industrial music to do.

I LOVED it, and I don't even like women's voices. Can't wait to hear more Trent in any flavor.

I wish he would just GO. The music isn't worthy any longer, this new project proves that. This girl has a bad voice and I felt insulted that he is actually pushing this as if it's something good and she is actually talented. Won't be listening to any more.
