In a posting on his official website, Trent Reznor has revealed: “I’ve waited a long time to be able to make the following announcement: As of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label.
“I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.”
Reznor added that he will soon post further announcements about what’s in store for Nine Inch Nails in 2008.
