By: Philip Sayblack Nothing More is kicking off the weekend with the debut of a new take of a favorite Nine Inch Nails single. The band premiered its take of Nine Inch Nails’ ‘We’re In This Together‘ Friday. The standalone single stays mostly true to its source material but amps up the song in this rendition. In place of the electronic lean for which so much Nine Inch Nails music is known, Nothing More has put in place its own melodic hard rock touch, giving the song a unique new identity while also shortening the original from its 6-minute-plus run time to a work that just barely tops 4-minutes. That is due to the omission of the more emotional, quieter opening moments included in the original that really heighten the emotional impact of that song. Front man Johnny Hawkins said of ‘We’re In This Together,’ “‘We’re in This Together’ sounds like a love song colliding with a war cry. Alan Watts [the British American writer and orator] once said that ‘you are the universe experiencing itself’—and this song embodies that truth. It’s us against the world, and this song is my inner monologue.” Hawkins’ band mate, Mark Vollelunga added his own thoughts. This song is from my favorite Nine Inch Nails’ album, The Fragile, and by far one of my favorite NIN songs,” said Vollelunga. “It’s such a beautiful cataclysm. Essentially, it’s a love song, but as I dove deeper, my interpretation shifted to it being about my relationship to my personal demons and mental trauma. It’s about making peace with those monsters and accepting who and what they are while realizing they will always be a part of me.” Vollelunga added, “It took a long time to achieve that cathartic clarity in regard to the very real nature of that evil’s presence. We actually started recording the song 11 years ago, and it’s just been lying in wait until recently. I was upset we hadn’t released it earlier, but I now believe its relevance and timing couldn’t be more immaculate.” ‘We’re In This Together’ is just the latest Nine Inch Nails single to receive a cover from another well-known act. Sevendust took on ‘Hurt,’ another Nine Inch Nails classic years ago, with the cover receiving much acclaim. Other NIN hits, such as ‘Head Like a Hole,’ ‘Closer,’ ‘Down In It,’ etc. have been covered by countless other acts. Nine Inch Nails, in other news, has provided the soundtrack to the latest entry in Walt Disney Studios’ Tron franchise, Tron: Ares. The soundtrack is available now on CD and vinyl here. In other news, Nothing More has a new tour scheduled to launch Nov. 7 in Tampere, Finland. The tour is scheduled to run through Dec. 6 in Bristol, UK. A North American run will follow beginning Jan. 14 in Silver Spring, MD. The tour, which includes stops in Raleigh, NC; Phoenix, AZ and Madson, WI, is scheduled to run through March 17 in Fayetteville, AR.
