Posted by The full details regarding the highly anticipated collaborative project, ‘Nine Inch Noize’, have finally been confirmed. This partnership unites industrial rock legends Nine Inch Nails with acclaimed electro producer Boys Noize, a creative union born from their recent work on high-profile film soundtracks.
Trent Reznor and the German electronic music pioneer previously collaborated on the scores for Challengers and TRON. Their studio chemistry proved so potent that it naturally evolved into a standalone album. After making their live debut at Coachella, the duo has delivered a series of reworked deep cuts from the Nine Inch Nails catalog, infused with fresh, high-energy production.
A Limited-Time Creative Exploration
In a personal note to fans, Trent Reznor clarified that this project is a focused, temporary endeavor. Once the second weekend of Coachella concludes, the focus will shift back to the primary Nine Inch Nails output.
The creative fulfillment of working on the Challengers and TRON scores with Boys Noize led me to think that including him in the Peel It Back Tour could be an interesting way to express NIN in more purely electronic terms live – a concept I’ve wanted to explore for some time. The result was so much fun for us we felt it was worth expanding and formalising in some way.
Reznor emphasized that there is no surprise tour in the works. He noted that the recording process was unconventional, capturing the essence of the project across various environments, including studios, hotels, and while traveling. He encouraged fans to listen to the new material at high volume.
