Auf den Tag genau vor 9 Jahren erschien am 22. Dezember 2016 die Nine-Inch-Nails<\/strong>-EP \u201eNot the Actual Events\u201c. Nun, zumindest f\u00fcr alle, die den Vorverkauf nutzten, alle \u00fcbrigen mussten einen weiteren Tag warten. Kanntest Du diese 5 Fakten bereits?<\/p>\n\n

\u2605 Nine Inch Nails’<\/strong> third EP is called “Not the Actual Events” and is the first part of a trilogy that was completed with “Add Violence” (2017) and “Bad Witch” (2018). <\/p>\n\n

\u2605 The EP was released under Trent Reznor’s own label The Null Corporation.<\/p>\n\n

\u2605 “Not the Actual Events” is the first work in which Atticus Ross, who has been working for the band for a long time, takes part as an official band member.<\/p>\n\n

\u2605 Trent Reznor told Rolling Stone: “I wanted the music to sound kind of ugly and unfriendly and not enticing with a sexy hook.”<\/p>\n\n

\u2605 The EP reached number 2 in the Billboard charts in the USA.<\/p>\n\n
