Trent Reznor Already Working on Next Nine Inch Nails Record

This is fantastic news from the NIN camp. After announcing his recent departure from Interscope, already emerging is the beginnings of a new NIN record.

According to Billboard.com and Blabbermouth, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails Fame is about to head back to the studio to work on the followup to "Year Zero", a process he couldn't begin until the expiration of the band's deal with Interscope due to contractual reasons. In addition, Billboard understands Reznor, in keeping with past practices, will not decide how to actually release, market and promote the next album until the music is finished.

There will be new NINE INCH NAILS product before the end of the year, however. The remix album "Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D" is due November 20 via Interscope and feature remakes of "Year Zero" songs by Fennesz, the Faint, Ladytron and Saul Williams, among others.

Interscope holds the rights to release a greatest hits collection at some point in the future, but it is unknown when such a project could see the light of day. It is also unclear what the fate would be of any potential NINE INCH NAILS archival releases, particularly if the material was recorded during the band's Interscope tenure.
