NIN digitally release Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D Nov. 20 :: Music News :: Articles

Freed from the shackles of their previous recording contract with Interscope Records, Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails have the liberty to do whatever they want with their next album. So, they are cutting out the middle man and going along with the recent trend of digital releases.

On Nov. 20, Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D will be available for purchases for download on Amazon. The album will also be sold in CD and spiffy collectible vinyl form.

Though the title of NIN’s remixed album looks as arbitrary as the letters that a deranged kitten would paw across a keyboard, it actually translates into Year Zero Remixed. The Leetspeak-encrypted album also boasts killer mixes by members of New Order, Ladytron, and Sam Fogarino of Interpol. Reznor says he tried to reach “out to heroes, friends and strangers,” for the remixed album, encouraging them “to do anything and insert themselves as much as possible into the track."
