Like many other artists, nine inch nails love to want to spread their news in the form of cryptic social media posts. After all, this increases the anticipation and commitment on the net. But what could really be behind their mysterious postings?
What is “Future Ruins”?
On May 14th, a contribution with the inscription “Future Ruins” was shared on the band’s accounts on Instagram, Facebook and Co. The design is simple in black and gray. The first letters of the words are a little offside. The caption says “Tomorrow” and there is a reference to a new website.
At first glance, the website reveals little more. So it says: “The music tells the story.” At the end of the page, however, it is noticeable that the links to the socials do not lead to the band, but to accounts called “Futureruinsfestival”. So far, only the already known post can be found there.
Reznor and Ross seem to plan a larger project
While most fans speculate under the contribution of the band account, which will soon be announced, one thinks that one thinks of knowing what it is about. In a comment, he wrote: “‘Future Ruins’ is a new record label and festival that is developed in addition to other projects by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross under the roof of their new company” With Teeth “. According to Nin.wiki, the projects of the company also include fashion, a meta-severse-like artist experience, film production and a bottle water brand. ‘Future Ruins’ was first presented in a GQ article in April/May 2024. The start of the label and the festival is planned at the same time. ”
In the interview with “GQ”, Reznor and Ross explained the following in terms of a company that had no name at the time: “We are working on our own creative project with reference to Nine Inch Nails: Stories that we can tell and develop in an innovative way.” In addition to film projects, a T-shirt collection and a record label, they also mentioned a festival “in which we will perform as composers for the first time in addition to a number of other interesting people”.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross recently drew attention to themselves as film music composers. For their work on “Challengers – Rivals” by Luca Guadagnino, they won a Golden Globe and other minor prices.
In addition, Nine Inch Nails will soon be on the big “Peel It Back” tour. Support: Boys Noize.
