04-08-2025
“Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)”, featuring all original music by NINE INCH NAILS, will be released on September 19 via Interscope. Created for the third installment in the groundbreaking “Tron” film franchise, “Tron: Ares” stands among NINE INCH NAILS‘ most compelling albums, humming with menace, melancholy and momentum as analog soul and digital dread collide. It also marks the first-ever film score by the pioneering band 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. Now, NINE INCH NAILS dropped the official music video for “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” — the album’s first single and the first official music from the band in five years.

The track is featured in the new trailer for “Tron: Ares”, which was unveiled in July. Disney‘s “Tron: Ares” will be released in U.S. theaters on October 10. 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.
