Nine Inch Nails to release a new album with Boys Noize

Author Benedetta Baldin - 8.4.2026

Later this month, Nine Inch Nails and their preferred recent tourmate, electro house musician Boys Noize, will release a new joint album, as per theprp. It seems that the legendary industrial metal band has plans of their own, even if an apparently unofficial live tape has been making the rounds among their fan base. The intentions have been verified by Nine Inch Nails themselves, as evidenced by the following social media post and a billboard in the Indio, California area that promotes an April 17th release date for a “Nine Inch Noize” album. Umusic.com is currently offering pre-saves for this new excursion.

This album is anticipated to be an extension of Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize‘s regular collaboration during the recently finished “Peel It Back Tour.” The “Challengers” score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the core duo of Nine Inch Nails, was previously remixed by Boys Noize. Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize will also bring their collaborative “Nine Inch Noize” experience to the Sahara stage at this year’s “Coachella” event in Indio, California, starting on Saturday, April 11. Additional live pairings between the two artists are quickly approaching.

Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Trent Reznor founded the American industrial rock group Nine Inch Nails, often known as NIN, in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1988. Until his frequent collaborator, English musician Atticus Ross, officially joined the band in 2016, Reznor was the only constant member. TVT Records released the band’s first album, “Pretty Hate Machine” (1989). The band joined with Interscope Records and released the EP “Broken” (1992), followed by the albums “The Downward Spiral” (1994) and “The Fragile” (1999), following a dispute with TVT on the album’s promotion.

After a break, Nine Inch Nails went on tour again and put out their fourth album, “With Teeth” (2005). After a conflict, the band left Interscope after the release of their subsequent album, “Year Zero” (2007). Before taking a second break, Nine Inch Nails continued to tour and independently released “Ghosts I–IV” (2008) and “The Slip” (2008). The EPs “Not the Actual Events” (2016) and “Add Violence” (2017) and their ninth album “Bad Witch” (2018) comprised the trilogy that followed their eighth album, “Hesitation Marks” (2013). In 2020, the band simultaneously released two further “Ghosts” albums: “Ghosts V: Together” and “Ghosts VI: Locusts”. Through their multimedia firm “With Teeth”, Nine Inch Nails announced several new projects in 2024.
