'''''Year Zero''''' (rumored to be also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 24]]''''', but not yet confirmed) (or ''Year Zero: Zero-Gen-Ten'' in Japan) is an upcoming the sixth studio album by [[Nine Inch Nails]] studio album, due for release on April 16, 2007 in the UK and Europe, and April 17, 2007worldwide. It was produced by NIN Nine Inch Nails frontman [[Trent Reznor]] in collaboration with Alan Moulder and engineer Atticus Ross, both of whom worked in a similar capacity on NINNne Inch Nails's previous major studio release, '''[[With Teeth']]''. Mastering was done by Brian "Big Bass" Gardner.

In a 2005 interview with '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerrang%21 Kerrang!'''], Reznor expressed his intentions to write material for a new release during the '''With Teeth''' tour, and it was confirmed that he was working on it by September 2006. ''Year Zero '' began its mixing stage in January of 2007, and TR Reznor stated on his [[The Spiral|Spiral ]] blog that the album was finished as of February 5, 2007.

"''This record began as an experiment with noise on a laptop in a bus on tour somewhere. That sound led to a daydream about the end of the world. That daydream stuck with me and over time revealed itself to be much more. I believe sometimes you have a choice in what inspiration you choose to follow and other times you really don't. This record is the latter. Once I tuned into it, everything fell into place... as if it were meant to be. With a framework established, the songs were very easy to write. Things started happening in my "real" life that blurred the lines of what was fiction and what wasn't. The record turned out to be more than a just a record in scale, as you will see over time.''

''Part one is year zero. Concept record. Sixteen tracks. All written and performed by me, produced / programmed by me and Atticus Ross, mixed by Alan Moulder, mastered by Brian "Big Bass" Gardner. Release date: April 17, 2007.''

''What's it about? Well, it takes place about fifteen years in the future. Things are not good. If you imagine a world where greed and power continue to run their likely course, you'll have an idea of the backdrop. The world has reached the breaking point - politically, spiritually and ecologically. Written from various perspectives of people in this world, "year zero" examines various viewpoints set against an impending moment of truth. How does it sound? You will hear for yourself soon enough, but given the point of this document is to provide information...''

''This record is much more of a "sound collage" than recent efforts from me.
