Has anyone else been checking out this mindf*ck? Trent has created an entire storyline and webgame to promote his new album "Year Zero."

The lovely people at echoingthesound.com have created a wikipedia for the game, which is the best way to start off. One of the songs, My violent heart, has been "leaked" as part of the game.

I've not been clued in! Dangit! I heard the first single, "Survivalism" on the radio yesterday. Very cool. I'll need to check this out.

[edit]HOLY CRAP! This is AWESOME!

NIN is one of my fav bands of all time and i just saw them last year, awesome show. I heard survivalism and violent heart and i like them both but perfer violent heart. it kinda sounds like his old stuff so i cant wait till this comes out and hopefully he will tour back here in the states again.
Also he has a DVD coming out of his current WITH TEETH tour on february27th i believe, so that should be cool too.

Track 6, "Me, I'm not" was "leaked" on Monday.

Queen Mae · 02-21-2007, 05:53 AM

I have all of the "leaked" tracks if anyone wants them just pm me.

Anyone remember The Beast game when A.I. came out, or the ilovebees game that advertised the release of the Halo 2 video game? They were both products of the ARG (alternate reality game) company 42 Entertainment, the same people behind this new Year Zero game.

I remember how incredibly detailed the ilovebees game was, and how involved it could become at times, so I can't wait to see how this game keeps progressing.

Minion: Loves Trent Reznor because he has openly expressed his dissatisfaction with current trends in rock music, especially...*shudder*...emo music.

On The Year Zero site is a teaser for the new album.
and here is the cover art.

Which is extremely stupid because Pretty Hate Machine is as emo as it gets.

Really... "you broke my heart, you won't marry me... wahhhh wahhhh wahhhh"

Gentlemen Death · 02-22-2007, 10:16 PM

So Pretty Hate Machine with its industrial style is EMO?? And ur justifacation for it is because he says heart or love? You just described about every song there is. So all songs are emo? im just curious and confused.

Help me out here, bands that cry about that crap are EMO bands like Fall Out Boy, Good Charlette, Matchbox Romance, Panic! At the Disco. Its just weird cause i have taken shit for listening to him and have heard countless times about how he "cries and whines" but have never heard NIN referred to as EMO, thats a first to me.

And when he says he doesnt like all the bands that are coming out nowadays, i agree with him but at the same time that is his opinoin and try not to take it to heart.

Emo is the new goth, and Trent was and is loved by the goth crowd, especially back around PHM time.
I'd classify PHM as a sort of electronic, gothy industrial, but I see where my sister was going with the comparison.
