Nine Inch Nails - Add Violence (EP) (2017)

Add Violence is an EP by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails. It was released digitally on July 19, 2017, two days ahead of its scheduled release date, under Trent Reznor's label The Null Corporation. It will be followed by the release of a physical component the week of August 8 and a CD release on September 1. A vinyl release was also announced with no release date set. This marks the second EP in a proposed trilogy following the 2016 release of Not the Actual Events.

The album was officially announced on July 13, 2017, and the lead single "Less Than" and an accompanying music video directed by Brook Linder were released online. On July 18, "This Isn't the Place" was released with an accompanying music video directed by Alex Lieu.

Drowned in Sound's Gavin Miller gave the EP a score of 8 out of 10, writing, "it's a little light on substance, but what we do get is a really fascinating insight into where Reznor is at with NIN at the moment." Kory Grow of Rolling Stone also gave the album a positive review, saying, "it contains all the aggression, abjection and self-loathing that solidified [Reznor's] position as alt-rock's Original Angster but with the measured restraint of a man his age."
