Nine Inch Nails released their EP Not the Actual Events back in December, and noted that it would be the first of a trilogy of EPs that would be completed during 2017. Today, the second EP in the series has been announced, with the five-track Add Violence due out next week on Friday, July 21st. As described by a press release, “The sonic palette expands significantly from Not the Actual Events, incorporating elements of beauty into the dark dissonance. The narrative arc linking the three records begins to emerge through the disassociated lyrics and the provocative and clue-filed cover artwork and accompanying physical component.”
