As promised, Trent Reznor has just dropped the first single off Add Violence, the second of three EP’s that kicked off with last year’s Not the Actual Events.
Here’s “Less Than”, which revives the ’80s and hammers home the classic Nine Inch Nails sound that was missing on Not the Actual Events. Add Violence will release next Friday, July 21st. The EP and forthcoming shows are inspired by “anti-technology,” Reznor said on Beats 1.
TRACKLIST:
01. LESS THAN
02. THE LOVERS
03. THIS ISN’T THE PLACE
04. NOT ANYMORE
05. THE BACKGROUND WORLD

Here’s the “Less Than” Music video that was directed by Brook Linder.
In an apology e-mail to fans back in June regarding the delay of their vinyl releases, Trent Reznor revealed that last December’s Not the Actual Events was just the first in a trilogy of planned Nine Inch Nails EPs. The next EP was said to arrive this summer with the finale potentially dropping just in time for the holidays. Here’s his statement:
FINALLY, DID YOU KNOW THERE’S A NEW TOP-SECRET NINE INCH NAILS EP THAT WILL BE RELEASED BEFORE THE FIRST SHOWS WE DO THIS SUMMER? DID YOU KNOW NOT THE ACTUAL EVENTS WAS THE FIRST PART OF A TRILOGY OF RELATED EPS THAT WILL BE RELEASED ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS APART? NOW YOU DO.
Their first scheduled tour date is July 23rd at FYF Fest in Los Angeles, which had us speculating that we could have new Nine Inch Nails music before the end of this month.
