Trent Reznor discusses the Watchmen soundtrack, 'Pretty Hate Machine's' 30th anniversary, his RockHall nom, BlackMirror and more
. Although Reznor says he and Ross aren’t actively working on new Nine Inch Nails music, they do have plans for more. Reznor recently took a short break from his stacked schedule to speak withfor a lengthy, wide-ranging interview about the whirlwind that has been 2019 and why he’s foundwith an idea of how you wanted it to sound?
As you will see, it’s a very intense and deep series of intertwining storylines. It seemed interesting, but it really provided no clues as to what it would sound like. When we saw a rough cut of the premiere, it started to become clear that the role of music would be more in-your-face rather than a supporting role in the background.? It plays with a lot of themes regarding civil rights that feel very current.
What did you think of the new lyrics, like “stoked on ambition and verve” instead of “bow down before the one you serve”? It came together quick. I thought the record needed something that was up-tempo and aggressive. Really,was born from tinkering around in the studio at night. I stayed up late at night, trying to figure out who I was, what I had to say as a songwriter. And things started to pop out. I remember “Sanctified” and “Something I Can Never Have” were pretty early. I think “Terrible Lie” was pretty early in there, too.
