TRENT REZNOR Says Working With DAVE GROHL Has Been 'Inspiring And Exciting'

July 14, 2004

NINE INCH NAILS mastermind Trent Reznor has confirmed in an online posting that former NIRVANA/QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE drummer Dave Grohl has helped with the recording of their new NIN album, entitled "Bleedthrough", tentatively due in early 2005. The following is Reznor's update on the album's recording process, as posted in the "Access" section of nin.com:

"I have a group of twenty tracks that's being considered for the record. After a lot of thought, I've decided to produce the record myself. Why, do you ask? Well, I feel very inspired right now and I want this record to be what's in my head, for better or worse.

"I'm bringing in Alan Moulder as a sounding board / co-producer / mixer and James Brown (not thatJames Brown) for some tracking: Atticus Ross is my right-hand man and programmer and has been from the start of this record. Leo Herrera is engineering. Rick Rubin has been a mentor, a source of inspiration and guiding force throughout the process.

"There is a much less refined approach to most of this record and I wrote a lot of the tracks envisioning powerful live drumming: enter Dave Grohl. Working with him has been one of the most inspiring and exciting experiences I've had in the studio. The tracks he's played on (all fifteen) have come alive in a 'better-than-I'd-even-hoped-for' type way.

"The rest of the music I'm playing myself.

"We are tentatively mixing the record in October and tracking, treating and thinking from now until then. That means the record comes out early 2005, and we will tour extensively worldwide to support it.

"Who's in the live band? Don't know yet.

"Meanwhile, we're releasing two other items this fall. The long-awaited 'Closure' DVD will finally see the light of day — with extra content, and 'The Downward Spiral Deluxe Edition' — a two-disc package remastered, remixed in 5.1 and more. We just finished remixing 'The Downward Spiral' in Surround [Sound] and it really lends itself to the format — you will soon have a new disc to demo your system with!"
