As they gear up for a headline European tour that begins November 7 in Tampere, Finland, 3x-Grammy-nominated and four-time #1 rock outfit NOTHING MORE have today (October 17) released their interpretation of We’re in This Together by Nine Inch Nails—currently on tour to promote their latest TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) album—from 1999’s The Fragile. It’s a song that has always held great meaning for the boundary-pushing alternative metal band—Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—and one they in fact started recording 11 years ago before being sidetracked by creating their own music.
“‘We’re in This Together’ sounds like a love song colliding with a war cry,” says frontman Jonny Hawkins. “Alan Watts [the British American writer and orator] once said that ‘you are the universe experiencing itself’—and this song embodies that truth. It’s us against the world, and this song is my inner monologue.”
The standalone track We’re in This Together follows NOTHING MORE’s most recent single/video EXISTENTIAL DREAD, which marks the fifth release from their 2024 album, CARNAL. The album has notably spawned four back-to-back #1 rock singles—If It Doesn’t Hurt, ANGEL SONG (featuring David Draiman), HOUSE ON SAND (featuring Eric Vanlerberghe), and FREEFALL (featuring Chris Daughtry)—on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase Active Rock charts and amassed 193.5 million global streams. With this chart distinction, the band joins a special group of artists, including Metallica, Linkin Park, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, and Falling In Reverse, who’ve achieved the same honour.
