It all points to a return to source for NIN. The last thing they did that sounded this definitive was ‘With Teeth’ back in 2005; since then Trent has taken the outfit on an odyssey that’s taken in dystopian concept records (‘Year Zero’), experimental sketches (the ‘Ghosts’ sequence) and wafty ambience (‘The Slip’). All of those had their merits, and even though the line-up has been reshuffled, there’s something about ‘Came Back Haunted’ that sounds like NIN are back to being what they're intended for.
First single from the upcoming album "Hesitation Marks," out 9.03.13. Download "Came Back Haunted" from nin.com and iTunes on June 6th.
