Nine Inch Nails' 'Came Back Haunted': Band Releases New Single, Album Title, Tour Dates

New Nine Inch Nails Song Is Here

As Nine Inch Nails mounts their comeback, the band's longtime fans are being hit with the holy grail of updates: We now have a new song, an album title and a plethora of tour dates.

The totally revamped rock band -- which will now feature Eric Avery of Jane's Addiction, Adrian Belew of King Crimson and Josh Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv alongside original members Trent Reznor, Alessandro Cortini and Ilan Rubin -- has unveiled "Came Back Haunted," the first NIN single since 2008's "Discipline." The song will feature on the upcoming album "Hesitation Marks," slated for a Sept. 3 release and labeled "frankly f—ing great" by Reznor in a press release.

Nine Inch Nails will also hit the road on a massive world tour with Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor on hand to open. It's the first set of concerts since 2009's Wave Goodbye Tour and the first album since 2008's "The Slip," which peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard chart.

Read the statement from Reznor about the band's comeback:

Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.

I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.

The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.

Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.

Before You Go

2013 Music Preview
Jan. 15 - A$AP Rocky - Long.Live.A$AP(01 of21)
Open Image Modal
This one already leaked, but solid reviews point to A$AP's studio debut as one of rap's most important releases. He'll be opening for Rihanna on her global tour, but come January, this is the album to buy if you want to Support Real Hip-Hop.
Jan. 28 - Local Natives - Hummingbird(02 of21)
Open Image Modal
Mumford & Sons blew the door wide open on sensitive rock, so expect outfits like the Local Natives to reach new heights of popularity. Cue the grumbling about selling out in 3… 2… 1…
"Early 2013" - Sky Ferreira - I'm Not Alright (03 of21)
Open Image Modal
Once called "Wild At Heart," Sky Ferreira's debut studio LP is another project that's driving bloggers wild. The oft-delayed record now comes on the heels of the singer's sensitive and spare EP, "Ghost." If "I'm Not Alright" gives us more from where "Everything Is Embarrassing" came from, we'll gladly give it a few spins. (credit:Getty Images)
"Early 2013" - Pusha-T - My Name Is My Name (04 of21)
Open Image Modal
The Clipse coke-rapper has been given new life by Kanye West and the rest of the G.O.O.D. Music family, but it remains to be seen if he can make good on the opportunity. Early buzz is favorable: "Blocka," a recent release, pits Pusha against some production that would fell many a lighter rapper. Not him. (credit:Getty Images)
Feb. 12 - Azealia Banks - Broke With Expensive Taste(05 of21)
Open Image Modal
With a title that fits her generation like a silken, thrift-store glove, Banks looks to turn mixtape hype into studio album sales. She made her name by blending rap and hip-hop sensibilities and swagger with an electro house sound, but come February, she won't be alone. We'll be looking to see if she stays dominant in a field that's already starting to be a bit more crowded (we see you, Angel Haze).
Feb. 19 - Major Lazer - Major Lazer Frees The Universe (06 of21)
Open Image Modal
Diplo's dancehall project got bumped from November to early in the New Year and includes collaborations with the likes of dubstepper Flux Pavillion, Wyclef Jean, Vampire Wekend's Ezra Koenig, Shaggy (yes, that Shaggy), Bruno Mars, Amber Coffman, Dev, Wynter Gordon and -- wait for it -- Tyga. Look for this release to quickly make its way toward the top of your tuned-in friend's dance party playlist. To Jamaica, and beyond! (credit:Getty Images)
Feb. 25 - Atoms For Peace - Amok(07 of21)
Open Image Modal
When Radiohead's Thom Yorke and the Red Hot Chili Pepper's Flea announced their side project, the collaboration seemed like something out of a music video game (Kobe and Jordan on the same team? Why not!). Early single "Default" has us thinking this will be much more Radiohead than RHCP.
Feb. 26 - 50 Cent - Street King Immortal(08 of21)
Open Image Modal
50's big return to music comes via an impressive roster of producers (Dre, Hit-Boy, Just Blaze, etc.), and who can deny that rap could use a dose of 50 Cent's witty, radio- and street-friendly hits? Early tracks have been of mixed quality, but rap fans will wait to hear the full package before judging. (credit:AP)
March - Mariah Carey - TBA (09 of21)
Open Image Modal
The year 2012 was a rough one for the "All I Want For Christmas" singer. She signed on to judge "American Idol" (consider where Paula Abdul was at with her singing career when she did the same thing), was subsequently out-diva'd by Nicki Minaj and released a single that no one remembers ("Triumphant (Get 'Em)"). Her upcoming studio album will be the fourteenth of her career. Whether it's a big comeback or a swan song remains to be seen. (credit:AP)
April - Black Sabbath - TBA (10 of21)

Ozzy's returning to vocal duty, so this will either be amazing or horrifying. Except that Rick Rubin's producing, so maybe more amazing? (credit:AP)
No Date - Backstreet Boys - Link (11 of21)

Kevin's back and they're all living in a house together to make the album. What else needs to be said? (credit:AP)
No Date - Cher - TBA (12 of21)
Open Image Modal
If "Woman's World," the lead single off Cher's first studio album since 2001's "Living Proof," is any indication, the legendary diva is setting out to make pop music that sounds like 2013. She has promised to range beyond dance tracks, so we're excited to see how her 100-ton voice sounds over stripped-down arrangements. Until then, there's always her Twitter.
No Date - Beyonce Knowles - TBA(13 of21)
Open Image Modal
Queen B's post-Blue Ivy return to music is shaping up to be quite a project: Jay-Z, The-Dream, Pharrell Williams and a host of other hitmakers have all been spotted in the studio with her. She's also turning the Super Bowl into a Beyonce concert with a side of football, so the stakes are pretty high. But if anyone who can pull it off … (credit:AP)
No Date - The Black Keys - TBA (14 of21)

The band that said what everyone was thinking about Nickelbackdialed up plenty of Grammy nominations this year. We like a band that puts out quality music quickly. (credit:AP)
No Date - Eminem - TBA(15 of21)
Open Image Modal
It's nice that Eminem and 50 are supposedly dropping records in the same year. Eminem's shouldn't feel like that much of a comeback, but the once-fiery rapper seemed to have devolved into an inspirational life coach on his last few albums. Look for Shady to step back into the game with a vengeance (or maybe he'll just make more pseudo-sexual jingles with Skylar Grey). (credit:AP)
No Date - Lady Gaga - ARTPOP (16 of21)
Open Image Modal
Gaga sat back as everyone from Adele to Taylor Swift all but snuffed her out of the popular consciousness. Who knows if Twitter counts, but in case it does, here's what we know: The singer has said she'll keep collaborations off the studio release and that she has written "like 50 songs" so far. There's also a movie on deck, directed by soft-art-porn maestro Terry Richardson. Here's hoping the sifting process results in a nice collection. (credit:AP)
No Date - Katy Perry - TBA(17 of21)
Open Image Modal
Katy Perry's albums are always stacked with hits. Rumors place her next disc as dropping over summer. Let's see what Dr. Luke cooks up this time. (credit:AP)
No Date - Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday: The Pinkprint(18 of21)
Open Image Modal
A couple things: Nicki Minaj should not be parroting Jay-Z album titles. That's pretty much the definition of the phrase "not a good look." Also, drop the "Pink Friday" branding already. Trust your fans: They'll buy an album with an all-new name. (credit:AP)
Maybe Never - Pearl Jam - TBA(19 of21)
Open Image Modal
Pearl Jam has been fueling new-album speculation since March 2011, when members said they had some new songs ready to record. And though they may not release an album in 2013, they apparently have "seven or eight" songs already on tape. If a new disc does materialize, it will be the band's first since 2009's "Backspacer." (credit:AP)
No Date - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - TBA (20 of21)
Open Image Modal
Karen O takes a break from penning "psycho operas" and finds some time to hang out in the studio. James Murphy either is or isn't helping out, but in either case, we're ready for this wait to be over. (credit:Getty Images)
Who Knows - G.O.O.D. Music - "Cruel Winter"(21 of21)
Open Image Modal
Sources have already whispered to HuffPost that an album is in the works, and Big Sean keeps telling anyone who will listen, but when said record will appear is anyone's guess. Some hints: "Cruel Summer" landed in mid-September, so perhaps "Winter" will drop just around the end of its corresponding season. That would place the record -- which will hopefully include Mr. Hudson this time -- around the latter third of March. So it goes. (credit:AP)
