According to
Metal Hammer,
NINE INCH NAILS' U.K. dates in March sold out in record time earlier this week.
The two shows at London's Astoria on Wednesday, March 30 and Thursday, March 31 sold out in a mere 20 minutes when they went on presale earlier this week such was the demand.
If you weren't lucky enough to get your
NIN tickets, head on over to
eBay, where they're currently on sale for an astonishing £200 (approx. $374) a pair!
According to a representative at
Universal in Sweden,
NINE INCH NAILS' new album,
"With Teeth", will be released in Europe on May 2 — presumably one day ahead of its North American release date (as is common practice for established international recording artists).
"With Teeth" will contain 12 tracks, and is said to be "more song-orientated" than 1999's
"The Fragile". The album was recorded in part at
Sound City Studio in Van Nuys, Ca., and features a guest appearance on drums by former
NIRVANA drummer/current
FOO FIGHTERS frontman
Dave Grohl. Mixing duties were handled by
Alan Moulder (
THE CURE,
SMASHING PUMPKINS).
NINE INCH NAILS' current touring lineup is believed to include drummer
Jerome Dillon, bassist
Jeordie White (a.k.a.
Twiggy Ramirez,
A PERFECT CIRCLE, ex-
MARILYN MANSON) and keyboardist
Alessandro Cortini.
