Trent Reznor’s newly re-formed Nine Inch Nails will play the Verizon Center later this year, he announced on the band’s website today. Tickets to the Oct. 18 show, which also features the Canadian instrumental hard-rockers Godspeed! You Black Emperor, go on sale through Live Nation on June 14 at 10 a.m., though fans who register on Nine Inch Nails’ website can get a early jump.

It’s been five years since Reznor released an album under the Nine Inch Nails banner, The Slip, which he released for free over the Internet. After a brief interregnum in which composed the scores for The Social Network and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and performed with his wife, Mariqueen Mangold, as How to Destroy Angels, Reznor finally said last week what he’s been spending much of the last year on: a new Nine Inch Nails album.

That album, titled Hesitation Marks, is, Reznor’s own words, “fucking great.” The band now includes Alan Moulder and Atticus Ross, with whom Reznor wrote the Oscar-winning score for The Social Network.

And today, Reznor also released the first taste of that album with the single “Came Back Haunted.” Any longtime fans of Nine Inch Nails—even through all the line-up shifts—should recognize the dark and twisted, but poppy and danceable-as-hell sounds not that dissimilar to the band’s first album, 1989’s Pretty Hate Machine.

Enjoy.
