Nine Inch Nails promised a trilogy of EPs and they still owe us one EP on that promise, and they certainly plan to deliver.
In 2016, we were treated to Not The Actual Events and last year, we got part two with Add Violence. In a recent interview, on BBC Radio 6, Trent Reznor revealed plans for the next EP:
“We started out with a rigid concept, having not written them all. As we finished Add Violence we found ourselves… it felt too predictable. It felt like we were forcing things. Musically and storytelling-wise. The reason this has been delayed is because it took us a while for—what has become the third EP—to reveal itself to us.”
He noted the EP should be out before the band's next tour, which starts on June 22nd. He also confirmed a show at the very prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London, England. Here are the band's upcoming dates:
