In an apology e-mail to fans 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 will 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 means we should have new Nine Inch Nails music before the end of next month. This should help mend fences with those who felt ripped off by the Not the Actual Events “physical component” that was basically just an envelope filled with soot.
