Nine Inch Noize is a collaborative musical project between American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails and German-Iraqi electronic music producer Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha). The project emerged from their collaboration on Challengers (Mixed), the Tron: Ares soundtrack, and the subsequent Peel It Back Tour in 2025.[1][2]

The project was announced on September 15, 2025, when Nine Inch Noize appeared on the poster for Coachella 2026.[3] On April 8, 2026, the group announced their debut self-titled studio album, which was released on April 17, 2026.[4]

Background

[edit]

According to Boys Noize, he and Trent Reznor had previously worked on a secret project that failed to materialize.[5] In 2024, Reznor asked Ridha to do a remix of the Challengers score, which Reznor had worked on.[5] Ridha turned the music into a continuous dance remix called Challengers (Mixed).[5][2] Subsequently they collaborated on the Tron: Ares soundtrack, with credits given to Boys Noize for "additional production" and co-production on key tracks like the single "As Alive as You Need Me to Be" and "Shadow Over Me".[1][2]

The project was announced on September 15, 2025 when "Nine Inch Noize" appeared without explanation on the Coachella 2026 lineup poster reveal.[3] The group made its live debut on April 11, 2026 at Coachella, with Mariqueen Maandig also providing vocals.[6] The performance received rave reviews; SFGate declared it "one of the festival's best ever"[7] while Pitchfork and Rolling Stone were among the publications that named it a highlight of the weekend.[8][9]
