As Trent Reznor was ripping across North America a couple months back on the Nine Inch Nails farewell tour, he said repeatedly that he wasn’t done making music, he was just done with the touring entity that was Nine Inch Nails. My guess on what would come next definitely included possible soundtrack work… moving quickly as he’s been prone to do in the last decade or so, we now get some early proof of what’s next…

J.J. Abrams, Executive Producer of the paranormal serial that is “Fringe” (Thurs, 8pm, FOX)… was telling his friend Reznor that the show was working up a promo to the Nine Inch Nails track “Zero-Sum” from the album “Year Zero”. Trent got interested and offered to rework the songs lyrics to tie it directly to Fringe, which he did by replacing the spoken word lyrics of the original with the spoken dialog of Dr. William Bell, a character played by Leonard Nimoy on the show.

The promo is set to debut during the American League Championship Series tonight on FOX… but wouldn’t you rather watch it right here, right now?
