The track is from Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Nine Inch Nails unveils the official music video for their new single, “As Alive As You Need Me To Be.” The striking visual, directed by Maxime Quoilin, evokes the sense of escalating pressure in the song, drawing on the lyric “All these hands have got a hold of me.” Ryan Hahn served as producer and mtla.studio provided creative direction.
“As Alive As You Need Me To Be” is the first single from Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and the first official music from the band in five years. A seven-inch vinyl single is available with the B-side “Empathetic Response,” also featured on the album.
Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) marks the first-ever film score by Nine Inch Nails, although bandmates Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed 20 scores under their own names, winning two Oscars, three Golden Globes, a Grammy, and an Emmy in the process. The soundtrack is set for a September 19th release via Interscope Records with the Disney-produced film opening in theaters on October 10th.
Last night (Tues, Sept 2nd), after Nine Inch Nails closed the first of two sold-out shows at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, the venue’s screens flipped to give fans a preview of the “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” video as they exited. The clip was also seen on screens at nearby subway stations. After tonight’s show at Barclays Center, the North American leg of the sold-out Peel It Back World Tour will take the band throughout the southern U.S., closing with a two-night stand at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on September 18-19. Joining Reznor and Ross, the Nine Inch Nails touring lineup features Robin Finck, Alessandro Cortini, and Josh Freese. Boys Noize are supporting on all dates.
