Nine Inch Nails Returns With Debut Hits On Multiple Charts
Tron: Ares is set to hit theaters later this fall, and the colorful feature will be the third and latest installment in the long-running Tron franchise. The film will be unleashed well over a decade after Tron: Legacy and aims to follow in that project's footsteps with a bold visual style and a kickass score. Industrial group Nine Inch Nails is responsible for the upcoming soundtrack, with Oscar winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross composing the music for the science fiction flick. Months before the movie hits theaters, one tune has already been released. "As Alive As You Need Me To Be" previews the album and builds anticipation for the movie itself. It also becomes a special hit for the Grammy-winning act as it debuts on a pair of musical rankings in the U.K. The First Hits for Nine Inch Nails "As Alive As You Need Me To Be" opens on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts this week, arriving at Nos. 74 and 76, respectively. Despite decades of success, this frame marks the first time Nine Inch Nails has ever appeared on either of the sales-focused tallies. The Band's First New Win in Years The tune gives the multi-genre outfit its first new hit in the U.K. in eight years. The band last launched a track on any U.K. list in the summer of 2017, when "Less Than" debuted at No. 26 on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross May Return to the Oscars Tron: Ares stands out from other works by Reznor and Ross in one major way, as they chose to use the Nine Inch Nails moniker this time around. In the past, the duo has written scores under their actual names and jointly won the Academy Award for Best Original Score twice, for The Social Network and Soul. In 2020, they even competed against themselves when Mank was released the same year, and Tron: Ares could be a real contender not just for the score award, but also Best Original Song thanks to this new hit.

Nine Inch Nails Roar Back With First ‘TRON: Ares' Single
Nine Inch Nails' first proper new song in five years, 'As Alive As You Need Me To Be,' has emerged ahead of the fall release of TRON: Ares, for which the Trent Reznor-led group is supplying the soundtrack. The latter is due Sept. 19 from Interscope, with the third film in the TRON franchise hitting theaters on Oct. 10. The propulsive 'As Alive As You Need Me To Be' burbles with dance floor menace and the revving sound of the futuristic motorcycles frequently seen in TRON's in-film racing sequences. The track was produced by Reznor and longtime collaborator Atticus Ross in tandem with Boyz Noize, Ian Kirkpatrick, BJ Burton and Hudson Mohawke. More from Spin: Alabama Shakes Shake, Rattle and Rock 'N Roll Again Perry Farrell Hits Back With Suit Against Jane's Addiction Bandmates New Blood Orange LP Boasts Lorde, Turnstile, Zadie Smith In all, NIN's TRON: Ares soundtrack sports more than 70 minutes of new music from the group, whose last new albums were the simultaneous 2020 releases Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts. 'I'll give a few spoilers: there's not one second of orchestra in our score,' Reznor recently told Empire. 'It sounds precise and unpleasant at times. It's not an atonal, punishing score, but we spent a lot of time thinking about the undertones of what's happening in the story. The concept of artificial life infused with feelings and emotions and a sense of questioning their purpose and their replaceability, their lack of soul, in some ways. We kind of riffed on that.' The movie stars Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges, Greta Lee and Even Peters in the follow-up to 2010's Tron: Legacy, itself a long-in-the-works sequel to the classic 1982 original film. Daft Punk's score for Tron: Legacy was a massive hit, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and selling more than a million copies in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Wendy Carlos penned the score for the original movie. Nine Inch Nails' first North American tour in three years will get underway Aug. 6 in Oakland, Ca. Reznor and Ross are also hosting the first Future Ruins festival, which will be held Nov. 8 at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center and feature performances by acclaimed film and TV music colleagues such as John Carpenter (Halloween, They Live, The Thing), Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein (Stranger Things, Lost in the Night), Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh (The Life Aquatic, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore) and Questlove presenting the score works of Curtis Mayfield.
