Nine Inch Nails & Boys Noize release ‘Nine Inch Noize’ album following Coachella moment
Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize have officially released ‘Nine Inch Noize’, a bold new project that reimagines the band’s catalog through a raw, electronic lens.
First, the album arrives as a direct extension of their recent live collaboration, which gained massive attention following a standout performance at Coachella 2026. What initially began as an on-stage experiment has now evolved into a fully realized body of work, blending industrial roots with club-driven energy.
Meanwhile, the project reflects a deeper creative partnership between Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Boys Noize. The collaboration first took shape while working together on film scores, before naturally expanding into live performances and, ultimately, this album.
At the same time, ‘Nine Inch Noize’ revisits key moments from the Nine Inch Nails catalog, transforming them into high-intensity electronic reinterpretations. The album features reworks of iconic tracks such as ‘Closer’, alongside material connected to their recent scoring work, including ‘As Alive As You Need Me To Be’ from TRON: Ares.
Notably, the project was recorded across multiple environments — from studios to hotel rooms and even planes — capturing a spontaneous and experimental creative process.
In addition, the release builds on the momentum of their recent tour, where the collaboration between Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize played a central role in reshaping their live experience through more electronic-driven segments.
Ultimately, ‘Nine Inch Noize’ stands as more than a side project. Instead, it marks a new chapter — one where industrial legacy and modern electronic production collide, pushing the boundaries of what a Nine Inch Nails release can sound like today.
