NINE INCH NAILS will release a new EP, "Bad Witch", on June 22. The six-track release is billed as the final installment of a trilogy, following 2016's "Not The Actual Events" and 2017's "Add Violence".
In explaining why it took nearly a year for the third record to come to fruition, frontman Trent Reznor said: “We started out with a rigid concept, having not written them all. As we finished Add Violence we found ourselves… it felt too predictable. It felt like we were forcing things. Musically and storytelling-wise. The reason this has been delayed is because it took us a while for—what has become the third [record]—to reveal itself to us.”
In support of the EP, NINE INCH NAILS will embark on the "Cold And Black And Infinite" 2018 North American tour. The trek will launch September 13 in Phoenix, Arizona and include two-night appearances at Colorado's Red Rocks (September 18-19), New York's Radio City Music Hall (October 13-14), and Chicago's Aragon Ballroom (October 25-26), wrapping with four dates at the Palladium in Los Angeles (December 7,8, 11 and 12).
