Nine Inch Nails have shared their first new single in five years.
As Alive As You Need Me To Be is taken from the soundtrack to TRON: Ares, the third instalment of the sci-fi film series, which will be released on September 19 via Interscope Records.
Although Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed 20 scores under their own names, and are now among the most respected, and most acclaimed, film soundtrack composers of the modern era, having won two Oscars (Best Original Score for 2010's The Social Network and 2020's Soul), in addition to three Golden Globes, a GRAMMY and an Emmy, this is the first-ever film score by Nine Inch Nails.
A press statement on the album promises that it "erupts with the full force of Nine Inch Nails, breaking boundaries and redefining what a score can be", and states that there is "not one second of orchestra".
