Back in October, Trent Reznor promised there would be new Nine Inch Nails music by year's-end. With only 18 days left in the year, we were unsure if he would make good on that promise.
New NIN coming in 2016. Other stuff, too.

Today, Rolling Stone posted a new interview with Reznor and frequent collaborator Atticus Ross focusing on some of their soundtrack work. Immediately, new NIN was addressed:
"Those words did come out of my mouth, didn't they?" he says bluntly. Then he feigns surprise. "Oh, yeah, it's December, isn't it?" He pauses. "Just wait and see what happens."
Later in the interview, when asked about the mood of new NIN, Reznor was not being very helpful:
When asked about the mood of the forthcoming Nine Inch Nails record – whether it arrives before New Year's or not – he wants people to be patient. "That will be part of the reveal," he says. "I don't want to spoil it. If I'm interested in a film, I prefer not to watch the trailer. We live in overstimulated times."
Could Reznor be providing the greatest Christmas gift a NIN fan could ever ask for? Or will we still have to wait?
