All pre-orders include an instant five-song sampler download and a full digital album delivered by e-mail on September 28. Standalone digital will be available for purchase exclusively on Amazon MP3 at a promotional rate of $2.99 for a 48-hour period starting 12:01 a.m. PT on September 28. Digital purchases will begin on September 30 at 12:01 a.m. PT.

In an online post, Reznor wrote, "This is what Atticus and I have been working on for the last few months.

"We had a great time working with David Fincher on this and the film turned out excellent — something we’re very proud of. It opens in theatres October 1 and you should check it out.

"Musically, this all came out of our secret laboratory — electronic in basis, but mostly organic sounding. Lots of experiments and emphasis on sound fraying around the edges while focusing on the proper emotional tone for the various scenes.

"Regarding the purchase options, sorry about the 'clunkiness' of not offering the full-record digital download pre-sale (and having to visit Amazon). My agenda was to be able to offer this for the lowest possible price and this was the best way to achieve that. Amazon has been a great partner with past projects and I appreciate your understanding."

Fincher used the NINE INCH NAILS song "Closer" in the classic opening credit sequence of "Seven" and has spoken in the past about collaborating with Reznor on a stage musical version of his film "Fight Club".

HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS, Reznor's new project with his wife Mariqueen Maandig and Ross, released its self-titled debut digital EP earlier in the year. A full-length album is slated to arrive in 2011.
