One of the very few reasons why Emo/Hardcore/Post-Hardcore/Whatever-the-cool-kids-call-it-now doesn’t completely suck. The song is called ‘Pioneers’, and the video is based on a rather nasty sounding short story called ‘The Lottery‘.

He didn’t have much choice, given his former pastor’s media blitz in the last few day, during which time he’s basically shown himself to be a bitter old nut, clinging to crazy conspiracy theories and a runaway persecution complex (see what I did there?).

I found this hilarious, but you might need to have some background knowledge of WWE to get some of the references. The Bill Clinton impersonator is spot on.

Brand new, wholly unexpected single ‘Discipline’. Trent has been churning out new music at a phenomenal rate in the past few years, especially given the 6 year space between his consecutive Downward Spiral and Fragile albums. Check out nin.com later today if you want to download the song for free.
