==Biography==
===New Projects===
In February 2010 Reznor began work on an EP for a new project called [[How To Destroy Angels]], featuring himself, longtime collaborator [[Atticus Ross]], and [[Mariqueen Maandig]], a singer formerly of psychedelic band West Indian Girl. How To Destroy Angels released their self-titled EP for free on June 1, 2010, with a physical release available on July 6, 2010.
That same year, [[David Fincher]] asked Reznor and Ross to compose the score for his film ''[[The Social Network Soundtrack|The Social Network]],'' documenting the rise of Facebook. The score and film were released in fall of 2010. Both were met with much praise and accolades including a Golden Globe win and an Academy Award for Reznor and Ross. On January 7, 2011, Reznor announced that he would once again be collaborating with Fincher by composing the soundtrack to the US film adaptation of the bestselling novel ''[[The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Soundtrack|The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo]].'' The film was released in theaters in December of 2011.
===Cold And Black And Infinite===
In 2016, Ross became a full-fledged member of Nine Inch Nails , and a host of other score music from Reznor and Ross was announced. In June, the pair released a [[Juno|standalone track]] for a short film about NASA's Juno Mission. This was followed by the ''[[Before The Flood Soundtrack]]'' (a collaboration with Mogwai and Gustavo Santaolalla) and the ''[[Patriots Day Soundtrack]]''.
Delivering on a promise made in 2015 for new music from NIN the following year, the ''[[Not The Actual Events]]'' EP was officially released on December 23, 2016. In 2017, it was revealed that ''Not The Actual Events'' was the first in a [[The Trilogy|trilogy]] of related releases and the second installment, ''[[Add Violence]]'', was released on July 21. Reznor and Ross scores for ''[[The Vietnam War Original Score|The Vietnam War]]'' as well as the short film ''[[The Black Ghiandola]]'' followed. The third installment of the aforementioned trilogy, ''[[Bad Witch]]'', was released on June 22, 2018. The trilogy was supported with the [[NIN 2017-2018]] touring cycle, including a back-to-basics trek with [[The Jesus and Mary Chain]] (named the [[Cold And Black And Infinite Tour]]) that saw the live debuts of "[[And All That Could Have Been (song)|And All That Could Have Been]]" and "[[The Perfect Drug (song)|The Perfect Drug]]". That year also saw a partial Reznor and Ross score for ''[[Mid90s (Original Music From The Motion Picture)|Mid90s]]''.
