Nine Inch Nails - Add Violence

Released in 2017, Add Violence is the second installment in a "hallucinatory and revelatory" trilogy of releases from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Following the "clattering catharsis" of Not The Actual Events, this EP finds Nine Inch Nails becoming "more accessible and impenetrable at the same time." The sonic palette expands significantly, weaving "otherworldly threads of beauty" into a tapestry of "dark, industrial dissonance."

This vinyl pressing, released as part of the band's "definitive" reissue series, captures the "rib-rattling depth" of the electronic arrangements with "breathtaking clarity." From the "pulsating urgency" of the lead single "Less Than" to the "sprawling, twelve-minute descent" of "The Background World," the record is a "cinematic journey" through anxiety and high-fidelity chaos. It is a mandatory cornerstone for the "brave and the bold" collector, presented with the "unflinching honesty" and meticulous attention to detail that only NIN can provide.
