After letting us live with the hard-throbbing sounds of TRON: Ares soundtrack single “As Alive as You Need Me to Be” for the past six weeks, Nine Inch Nails are tearing us a new one with a very handsy new video for the song.
The official video for the song was directed by Maxime Quoilin, who delivers a digitally-manipulated pixelscape of terror — with the lyric “All these hands have got a hold of me” being actualized on-screen as NIN’s Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross become tormented by bizarre, CGI-mangled fists scraping across their skin.
You can see how the nightmarish visuals suit the deep, penetrative pound of NIN’s latest single via the player up above.
As previously reported, Nine Inch Nails’ TRON: Ares is out in-full on September 19th, while the sci-fi film itself hits theaters October 25th. You can pre-save and pre-order the soundtrack here.
Nine Inch Nails’ 2025 “Peel It Back” world tour resumes Friday (September 5th) at Raleigh, North Carolina’s Lenovo Center. You’ll find the rest of the tour schedule here.
