The Wake Up and the Sky Begins To Scream are amazing.
I'm actually really enjoying this, and thank god Speaking in Tongues is nowhere to be seen.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Heard half of the album on my way to work. It's awesome! I like all the tracks that I've heard so far. It's the type of music I wanted to get into but didn't know where to look, and here it is. Baby steps!

 

[G.O.O.]

Welcome Oblivion (the track) sounds apocalyptic ! Glad to see them doing more punchy stuff than what was in the EP

Hope they can make it to Vancouver. Would love to go to a show. Reznor's one of the few artists I actually wanna see live.

 

[kaskade]

Well fugg it. I preordered the Vinyl and bought myself an turntable. Why not, right?

 

[Sai-kun]

Hm, I suppose I should turn the OP into an actual OP now that we have solid info on all this stuff!

Will have to try to get tickets for the NJ or NY show. Hope they play some NIN songs though. I miss live NIN dearly

That's a pipe dream

 

[Sullichin]

That's a pipe dream

I think they might. Do they even have enough HTDA material to fill a whole show? I guess they won't be as long as NIN shows were

 

[Sai-kun]

I think they might. Do they even have enough HTDA material to fill a whole show? I guess they won't be as long as NIN shows were

All EPs included, they have 23 tracks, and I've been to shows where the main act only has 10-11 songs to play (Purity Ring, Ellie Goulding in 2010,...generally artists with only one album)

I just hope they play something off of their first EP. I'd love to hear Fur Lined, The Believers, and The Space In Between live.

 

[Akahige]

not sure if I'll buy tickets hmmm, maybe the album will change my mind

 

[Sai-kun]

OP converted :> Just needs a little title change!

The rest of the tickets will be available through regular ticket outlets shortly after. All the specific details and ticketing links will be added to this page as we get them.

The presale tickets available from us are non-transferable. They will have your name printed on them, and you'll need to show photo ID at the venue. This is to prevent scalping and ensure that tickets go directly to fans at a reasonable price.

We're working with a new partner, Modlife, for HTDA ticketing, merch, and album sales. We think this will lead to a better purchasing experience all around. If you have any technical problems with the presale process, please contact support at htda@modlife.com. For tour updates, follow HTDA on Twitter, Tumblr, or Facebook.

 

[Sai-kun]

Added the venue info to the OP. Thanks, shagg!

Also, my vinyl got delayed until March 19th

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I've only listened to two tracks from Welcome Oblivion: How Long and And The Sky Began to Scream. I absolutely adore Sky. Creepy and awesome.

NOTE FROM TRENT:

Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.

I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.

The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.

Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.

Strings and attractors has its claws in me and won't let go.

Added the venue info to the OP. Thanks, shagg!

The delay will be worth it in the end!

Thank you. 2 tickets for Montclair, NJ acquired.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

4 tickets to Toronto - $44 each! Way cheaper than Ticketmaster's bullshit and no "Convenience Fee".

EDIT: Sold out? Damn. Good thing I got it in time!

 

[atomsk]

[Sullichin]

I've only listened to two tracks from Welcome Oblivion: How Long and And The Sky Began to Scream. I absolutely adore Sky. Creepy and awesome.

That's my favorite on the album probably. Some of the lyrics on the album are worst than NIN's worst, but that's about my only complaint. I can't wait to see how they recreate some of these sounds and effects live

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Public tickets on sale. Get it now!

In other news: Scalpers are selling them for shit loads on ebay!

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

I thought the public sale wasn't until Friday...?

 

[SeroTyler]

It's officially out today, and if you pre ordered it from their website, you can download a lossless version so big iDevices refuse to sync it!

Is there music better than the EP? Because that was some lifeless, boring music.

Dont know them that well, but the few times Ive listend to them were ok. Heavily 80s new wave/post punk influence

EDIT: for those that havent heard it yet, this masterful mashup between Head Like a Hole and Call me Maybe http://animalnewyork.com/2013/call-me-maybe-trent-reznor/

 

[Sai-kun]

I think Strings and attractors might be my favorite track. The chorus/harmony is just too perfect, and the lyrics are really wonderful.

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

2 tickets for Pomona

 

[Cetra]

Man this record gets better and better the more I listen to it. If I had to top 5 the tracks I'd go with:

5: Welcome Oblivion
4: We Fade Away
3: Strings and Attractors
2: And the Sky Began To Scream
1: How Long?

yeah, I know

that gives a general overview of Coil and the connection to HTDA. Not a terrible article, but it does pretty much just skim the surface.

I've only listened once but I love:

And the sky began to scream
Welcome oblivion
Too late, all gone
How long?
Strings and attractors

Strings and attractors

I had no idea about this...pretty interesting! You can really hear how NIN was influenced by them.

Here's my top 5 on the album:

1. And the Sky Began to Scream
2. Strings and Attractors
3. The Loop Closes
4. Too late, all gone
5. How Long?

 

[kaskade]

Got my LP in today. Haven't opened it up yet since I had to get to work but I'm excited.
