==History==
After [[The Downward Spiral]] tours in 1996, [[Danny Lohner]] and [[Charlie Clouser]] approached Trent with music ideas that Trent felt did not fit in with his vision of the band, but instead agreed to collaborate and work on the material as a side project, with each member having equal say in decisions. The band eventually became a supergroup of sorts including, among others, Maynard James Keenan ([[Tool]], [[A Perfect Circle]]), Page Hamilton (Helmet), and Phil Anselmo (Pantera).
By 2001, producer [[Alan Moulder]] had tracked "more than an album's worth" of demos, according to Reznor's post on the site, adding that the rough songs are "very unlike [[The Fragile]], and may not even be released as NIN material,". However after 2002, Clouser left NIN and was no longer a part of Tapeworm. The group (at the time consisting of Reznor, Lohner, Keenan and [[Atticus Ross]]) booked time in a recording studio in an attempt to produce an album. An official Tapeworm website (Tapeworm.net, now offline) was created and showed pictures from various recording sessions.
