It would appear as though the long-running Tapeworm project has now officially come to a halt. In a new posting (which has since been removed) in the 'access' section of the official nine inch nails website, www.nin.com, Trent Reznor was asked "What's going on with Tapeworm?", to which he replied:
"tapeworm is dead for the forseeable future. let me try to explain as honestly as possible.
tapeworm wound up being about maynard, danny, atticus and me working collaboratively together. i provided some music i'd been working on as a starting point and we began. atticus and i would work on music, maynard and danny would show up when maynard could around tool's tour. we worked on a number of tracks and had josh freese play drums.
eventually however, things got in the way. managers, lawyers, record companies, APC needs and frankly my own enthusiasm for the material came into play to work against the project seeing the light of day. the bottom line is this: if the music had been great, all of this probably could have been worked out.
maynard is a dear friend and a great singer and writer. i'm sure we will work together in some capacity but the planets were not aligned for that project. my apologies for getting people excited about it - but i was, too."
In the same access update Reznor also addressed the future of Nothing Records, his work with 12 Rounds and more, though most of it is censored out and as such is left up to the reader to decide.
This really blows. Even if it is horrible I am still really curious to hear it. I wonder if it will ever REALLY leak.
