On September 3, Columbia Records will release “Hesitation Marks,” the new full-length album from Nine Inch Nails. Recorded in secret over the last year, Trent Reznor teamed with producers Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder to create the first new music from Nine Inch Nails in five years.

Plans were also unveiled for “Nine Inch Nails: Tension 2013” – a fall 2013 North American arena tour. Reznor says, “Tension picks up where Lights in the Sky left off. This is the full-on NIN live experience realized as we never could before.”
