Nine Inch Nails have released an unexpected new studio album 'The Slip' for free through their website.
In a statement available at nin.com, band leader Trent Reznor states: "As a thank you to our fans for your continued support, we are giving away the new nine inch nails album one hundred percent free, exclusively via nin.com."
The music is available in a variety of formats including high-quality MP3, FLAC or M4A lossless at CD quality and even higher-than-CD quality 24bit/96khz wave files.
The download includes a PDF with artwork and credits. The album will be available on CD and vinyl in July.
Once known not only for bringing industrial rock to the mainstream, but the length of time between releases, Reznor has been increasingly prolific in recent years. It took him 16 years to release his first four full-length albums under the Nine Inch Nails moniker, but this record means he has released three new records in the last year, plus one remix album.
The new album contains the following tracks:
01. 999,999
02. 1,000,000
03. letting you
04. discipline
05. echoplex
06. head down
07. lights in the sky
08. corona radiata
09. the four of us are dying
10. demon seed
