Nine Inch Nails Release Two New Albums, ‘Ghosts V’ And ‘Ghosts VI’
Nine Inch Nails has surprised us with the release of not one, but two new albums: Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts.
Trent Reznor revealed the news on Twitter saying “Anybody out there? New Nine Inch Nails out now. Ghosts V – VI. Hours and hours of music. Free. Some of it kind of happy, some not so much.”
Featuring a total of 23 new instrumental tracks, the albums can be downloaded for free on the Nine Inch Nails website. Talking about the new albums on their website, Reznor and Atticus Ross stated:
“As the news seems to turn ever more grim by the hour, we’ve found ourselves vacillating wildly between feeling like there may be hope at times to utter despair — often changing minute to minute. Although each of us define ourselves as antisocial-types who prefer being on our own, this situation has really made us appreciate the power and need for connection.
“Music — whether listening to it, thinking about it or creating it — has always been the thing that helped us get through anything — good or bad. With that in mind, we decided to burn the midnight oil and complete these new ‘Ghosts’ records as a means of staying somewhat sane. Ghosts V: Together’ is for when things seem like it might all be okay, and ‘Ghosts VI: Locusts’… well, you’ll figure it out.”

Nine Inch Nails released parts I-IV in the Ghosts series back in 2008.
