Add Violence

Add Violence is the fourth EP and eleventh major release by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails.

Issued through the Null Corporation and Capitol Records on July 19, 2017, it is the second in a trilogy of releases, following the EP Not the Actual Events (2016) and preceding the band's ninth studio album Bad Witch (2018).

[2] Moving away from the more aggressive nature of Not the Actual Events, the EP focused more on soundscapes and textures alongside their traditional elements, similar to that of The Fragile (1999), which resulted in more longform compositions.

So now as we expand the lyrical viewpoint of this three song trilogy, the music that was interesting to us this time around kind of surprised us.

[5] Gavin Miller from Drowned in Sound gave the EP a score of 8 out of 10, writing that "it's a little light on substance, but what we do get is a really fascinating insight into where Reznor is at with NIN at the moment".
