Nine Inch Nail Leaves Interscope, New CD, With Teeth, on Horizon, The Downward Spiral Deluxe Edition CD/DVD, and Rumors of Jeordie White Joining

Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails have parted ways with longtime label Nothing/ Interscope. However, their next studio album will be released in the Spring of 2005. The working title of Bleedthrough seems to have been scrapped for the title With Teeth, and if you’re keeping track, that’s “Halo Nineteen.” The band is again working with Alan Moulder, who worked on previous album such as The Downward Spiral and The Fragile.

But here’s the clincher: with A Perfect Circle on hiatus, and Maynard James Keenan headed back to work with Tool, reputable sources tell us Jeordie White (formerly known as “Twiggy Ramirez”) is headed into Trent Reznor's camp, who is currently in in Los Angeles recording the album.

Speaking of The Downward Spiral, a deluxe edition of the CD is due out on November 23rd, 2004. Here are the details from NIN.com:

The two-disc set will feature a redesigned deluxe package which includes a hybrid CD/SACD with the original album in stereo, high resolution stereo, and high resolution 5.1 digital surround sound. This will play on regular CD players as well as SACD players.

Also included is a bonus disc featuring a new compilation of remixes, b-sides, demos, and non-album tracks, including previously unreleased material.

DISC ONE (hybrid CD/SACD):

The DVD will include an image gallery, discography, and three bonus videos: “Closer” (in Surround), “March of the Pigs,” and “Hurt.”

Also, according to NIN.com, the Closure DVD is “tied up in legal problems at the moment and looks unlikely to see release until early 2005.”
