Nothing Records
From Free net encyclopedia
Nothing Records is a vanity label founded by Trent Reznor and John Malm, Jr. in 1992.
Reznor's own band Nine Inch Nails were the first to be signed to the label, shortly followed by Marilyn Manson and Pig. Today the label is home to a number of additional artists, including Autechre, Pop Will Eat Itself, Prick, and The The. In September 2004, Trent Reznor left New Orleans for the west coast, which entailed also leaving Nothing Studios. The Nine Inch Nails website read "nothing studios: 1994-2004", suggesting that Nothing Studios are no more. What this means for the record label is unclear.
In a May 5, 2005 on a post on the official NIN website, Trent says, "To be clear: my involvement with Nothing Records is over. Is Nothing Records alive or an entity? You'd have to ask John Malm (we're not really speaking that much these days)... Nothing studios is still in New Orleans and I'm not sure what I'll do with it. I'll figure that out when I finish touring."
The studios, located on Magazine St., were apparently not seriously damaged by Hurricane Katrina. [1]
The Nothing Records logo appears on the back of the album "With Teeth", and all CD single's afterwards. Nothing Records has also appeared on all Nine Inch Nails albums since the Broken EP. (And the re-released 'Pretty Hate Machine')
Nothing records is also the label for the Marilyn Manson albums from Portrait of an American Family through to Golden Age Of Grotesque, Manson Best of was released via Interscope records.. Reznor produced the Marilyn Manson albums Portrait of an American Family and Antichrist Superstar and has not produced any since.
