Nine Inch Nails Reveals “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” Music Video

Nine Inch Nails unveiled the official music video for their new single, “As Alive As You Need Me To Be.” The striking visual, directed by Maxime Quoilin, evokes the sense of escalating pressure heard in the song, drawing on the lyric “All these hands have got a hold of me.” Ryan Hahn served as producer and mtla.studio provided creative direction.

“As Alive As You Need Me To Be” is the first single from TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) – and the first official music from the band in five years. Pre-order the 7” vinyl HERE, which includes the B-side “EMPATHETIC RESPONSE,” another song from the album.

TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) marks the first-ever film score by Nine Inch Nails, although bandmates Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed 20 scores under their own names, winning two Oscars, three Golden Globes, a GRAMMY® and an Emmy in the process. Set for September 19 via Interscope Records, TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is available for pre-order and Disney’s TRON: Ares releases in U.S. theatres on October 10.

Last night, after Nine Inch Nails closed the first of two sold-out shows at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, the venue’s screens flipped to give fans a preview of the “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” video as they exited. The clip was also seen on screens at nearby subway stations.
