'''''Add Violence''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 31]]''''') is the third proper EP from [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It was released digitally on July 21, 2017, though pre-orders through [[nin.com]] allowed for a download two days early. This EP acts as the second installation of a trilogy, following the 2016 release of ''[[Not The Actual Events]]''.
==EP Title==
As with "[[Not The Actual Events]]", the title is derived from lyrics from the EP's first track. In this case, ''add a little violence'' from "Less Than".
==Hidden Themes / Possible ARG==
With the amount of clues hinted at and unmistakable lyrical correlations present throughout both EPs, Reznor stated the following in an interview posted online on July 26, 2017:
<blockquote>"With the new EPs, I liked world-building, and writing music that can sit in that world. I was always the guy who desperately wanted the ''Dark Side of the Moon '' to line up with ''The Wizard of Oz''. I wanted to believe somebody was so far out of their mind that they figured that out. Fuck, I got goose bumps just thinking about that possibility right now — the idea that someone could be thinking so hard about an album. <br>What the obsessives maybe don’t know is that if I were to explain everything to you, or just explicitly lay out what the new EP is about, you’d only be disappointed. You don’t really ''want'' to know. The experience of grappling with the thing is what makes it interesting, not the immediate gratification of going, “Oh'Oh, that’s what it means.'"[http://www.vulture.com/2017/07/trent-reznor-nine-inch-nails.html]</blockquote>
==Formats==
Akin to the first EP (with the exception of a CD release), ''Add Violence'' is also available as a digital download, a 12" vinyl and a physical component. Regarding the latter, the official description reads:
