[Watch] Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and Trent Reznor live in the studio playing "Mantra"
As I'm sure you're aware by now, Dave Grohl's soundtrack to his movie about Los Angeles recording studio Sound City, is soon to be released. Next week in fact on March 12th via Dave's very own label, Roswell Records. On Sound City: Real to Reel there is many a collaboration to get you hot under the collar. Check out the full tracklisting on iTunes here. For me though anything with Dave on drums and Josh Homme on guitar of some sort is going to make me lose it a little bit. Add into that mix the ridiculously talented Trent Reznor and you've got a recipe for a panic attack. Seriously.
Ahead of the release of the soundtrack next week, RollingStone has released some in studio footage of the trio recording the track titled "Mantra". It's sure to relax you on a stressful Friday afternoon as well as induce a fever of awesome. Check it out above.
[Listen] Trent Reznor - 'Call of Duty: Black Ops II' Theme
I may joke about it but tomorrow, and in fact right now, people are queuing up for a highly anticipated computer game; Call of Duty: Black Ops II. You might of heard of it and chances are at some point since you first played a Playstation/Xbox or whatever console you had growing up, you've played one of its younger brothers. Maybe you even saw the Robert Downey Jr starring trailer for this new game not too long ago. With the game though comes a rather nice added bonus for music fans. Trent Reznor has provided the instrumental theme for the game in between releasing the new How to destroy angels_ and supposedly working on new NIN material. Props to him for fitting it all in. So, if you're not one of those people camped outside waiting to get your grubby mitts on the game hit play and enjoy a taste of some music you're likely to be hearing a lot in the next few months once you purchase the game.
[Listen] How to destroy angels_ - "Keep it together"
Trent Reznor’s project with Atticus Ross, Rob Sheridan and his wife Mariqueen Maandig How to destroy angels_ have some new music coming our way in the shape of the EP An Omen_. Now you may be wondering why there's an underscore in their name now and the first letter is capitalised? Pitchfork points out that they're going to "capitalise the first letter of everything, and adding underscores in random places." Cool.
We look forward to typing out the titles in the coming months but whatever, today you can listen to the first track from the upcoming EP, titled "Keep it together" it is also set to feature on their album due out next year.

[Listen] Check Out Another Piece From Trent Reznor's Upcoming Score For 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
It's what we've had our eye on since the very beginning of January, but now the time has come for a sample of what's to come from the award winning pairing of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and their new project on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The track comes after Trent himself tweeted a link to the official site for the film which just went live and playing in the background was this moody piece of, as yet, untitled music. The music is a step away from their last project on The Social Network but this seems far more fitting given the contents of the movie it is to soundtrack. The balls rolling and it's gathering speed, let's hope we have more of this music soon.
