Turns out the Nine Inch Nails 20th anniversary farewell tour in 2009 may not have been what it claimed to be. While NIN head honcho Trent Reznor has been keeping his hands full raising a child and recording with his new How to Destroy Angels project, featuring his wife Mariqueen Maandig -- not to mention scoring such films as 'The Social Network,' which earned him an Oscar -- he's rekindling his love affair with NIN.
Good news for fans of Depeche Mode and their darkly romantic, semi-gothic brand of New Wave. The band has confirmed a European arena tour, scheduled for next spring, with a North American run to follow. The band will hit the road to support a new album, also due out in the spring.
What a fitting title for Soundgarden's brand new single, since for all intents and purposes, they had 'Been Away Too Long.' Diehard fans of the Seattle band have missed them for the past several years, and while the reunion, live performances and 'Avengers' song 'Live to Rise' have been rad and appreciated, this is the beefy, puts-hair-on-your-chest Soundgarden rocker we've been waiting for.
