Stream Nine Inch Nails' New Song 'As Alive As You Need Me To Be' From TRON: Ares

(Interscope) TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), featuring all original music by Nine Inch Nails, will be released on September 19 via Interscope Records. Created for the third installment in the groundbreaking TRON film franchise, TRON: Ares stands among Nine Inch Nails' most compelling albums, humming with menace, melancholy and momentum as analog soul and digital dread collide.

It also marks the first-ever film score by the pioneering band although bandmates Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed 20 scores under their own names, winning two Oscars, three Golden Globes, a GRAMMY and an Emmy in the process. In this exclusive Empire feature, Reznor delves into why they approached TRON: Ares as a Nine Inch Nails project.

Today, Nine Inch Nails dropped "As Alive As You Need Me To Be" - the album's first single and the first official music from the band in five years.

Nine Inch Nails will kick off the North American leg of their acclaimed "Peel It Back" world tour on August 6 at Oakland Arena in Oakland, CA. The 26-date, sold-out run will include two-night stands at United Center in Chicago (August 19 and 20), Barclays Center in Brooklyn (September 2 and 3) and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles (September 18 and 19). Boys Noize will support on all dates. See below for itinerary. Due to fan demand and overwhelming response to the production debuted on the European tour, a number of limited view tickets will be released across all dates this Friday, July 18, at 9AM PT/12PM ET

The arena tour, which marks the band's first live outing since 2022, launched at Dublin's 3Arena in June. The Times, in an opening night review, said, "The show was a revelation - a thrilling onslaught that combined angst, sincerity and a nightmarish otherworldliness..." NME noted, "[The band] delivered a stacked setlist of huge hits and rarities." Kerrang hailed the tour as "mind-blowing" while Evening Standard proclaimed, "Trent Reznor is the last great art rock star."
