Nine Inch Nails are set to release a new album this summer. The soundtrack for Tron: Ares will be available on Sept. 19, three weeks before the film’s release on Oct. 10.
The LP marks the first Nine Inch Nails album since the simultaneous release of Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts in 2020.
The news was accompanied by the album’s first single, the brooding “As Alive as You Need Me to Be.” You can hear the song below

Even though Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have released 20 film scores over the decades — including 2010’s The Social Network and 2020’s Soul, both of which won Oscars — Tron: Ares is the first time a feature film soundtrack will be released under the Nine Inch Nails name.
You can see the album’s track listing below.
“As Alive as You Need Me to Be” can also be heard in the new trailer for the upcoming movie.
