Nine Inch Nails Unveil “Copy Of A”

The studio version of Nine Inch Nails new song “Copy Of A” is now available on Youtube and Amazon where you can download it for free.

“Downward Spiral’ felt like I had an unending bottomless pit of rage and self-loathing inside me and I had to somehow challenge something or I’d explode,” Trent Reznor tells the Guardian. “I thought I could get through by putting everything into my music, standing in front of an audience and screaming emotions at them from my guts … but after a while it didn’t sustain itself, and other things took over – drugs and alcohol.”

Reznor continues, “And I’m happy that I don’t feel that way anymore. I’ve learned to recognize, a lot of it forced through the process of recovery that I’m wired wrong in certain ways, the chemical balance of my brain is off in terms of depression a little bit. This record was written as the other side of that journey. The despair and loneliness and rage and isolation and the not-fitting-in aspect that still is in me, but I can express that in a way that feels more appropriate to who I am now. And often that rage is quieter."

 

‘Hesitation Marks’ will hit shelves on Sept. 3.
