Nine Inch Nails deliver one of the most unexpected releases of their career: 'Nine Inch Noize' (Halo 38) is a full-length collaboration with Berlin-based electronic producer Boys Noize, aka Alexander Ridha, released April 17, 2026 via The Null Corporation/Interscope. The album spans 12 tracks — reworkings of NIN songs fused with Boys Noize's pulsating techno aesthetic, plus a cover of Soft Cell's 'Memorabilia' and a reworked How to Destroy Angels track.
Notably, Mariqueen Maandig Reznor handles co-lead vocals on several songs, adding a striking new dimension to the project. The collaboration made its explosive live debut at Coachella 2026 and landed critical acclaim — Metacritic registers an impressive 83 out of 100. What started as an experiment has become a fully realized work: an industrial-electronic hybrid that bridges both worlds with surgical precision and dancefloor fury, proving that Trent Reznor still tears down boundaries four decades in.
