See Nine Inch Nails perform at the TRON: Ares world premiere

Nine Inch Nails once again teamed up with Boys Noize for a special performance at LA’s TCL Chinese Theatre on Monday evening, October 6.

The two acts appeared onstage together as part of the world premiere for TRON: Ares, which of course features a typically incredible soundtrack by NIN. At the event, they unveiled lead single As Alive As You Need Me To Be, as well as the live debuts of Forked Reality and Shadow Over Me, and a remix of The Warning from 2007’s Year Zero album.

In our recent 5/5 review of TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), we said: “That Nine Inch Nails have executed a stunning return is a given, but the size and scope of this particular victory – this double victory, actually – should not be overlooked. Soundtracks are tasked with amplifying and heightening the emotional and visual impact of the films they accompany, but you couldn’t blame TRON: Ares director Joachim Rønning if he issued a throat-straining gulp when Trent and Atticus turned this in. Somehow his film now has to live up to its soundtrack.”
