''Bad Witch'' was officially announced on May 10, 2018. The official [[nin.com]] website description states:
<blockquote>"CONCLUSION. SHADOWS ON THE CAVE WALL."</blockquote>
On May 19, 2018, at "The Physical World" ticket presale, an exclusive listening station was made available for those in attendance. It gave fans the opportunity to hear the songs "Ahead Of Ourselves" and "Play The Goddamned Part" before the album's release.
The album makes use of saxophone on several tracks, more than any previous NIN recording. This is explained in an interview with ''Entertainment Weekly''[http://ew.com/music/2018/06/20/trent-reznor-bad-witch-interview/], where the interviewer compares the use of sax to that on [[David Bowie]]'s ''Blackstar'':
<blockquote>"Clearly, Bowie is front of mind, and that was certainly an influence. In terms of the precision of arrangement, I think back to [being] younger, reading about Psychedelic Furs as a bunch of students that all picked instruments and learned enough to make a record. As someone that had studied his ass off how to play an instrument, I thought, '"You can do that?' " Some people worried about technique or if it’s in tune, or if it’s played well. [For ''Bad Witch'', I thought] let’s just use it and add to the mayhem and message we are trying to convey. All this time [the sax] had been just sitting in my studio staring at me. Taunting me."</blockquote>
