The EP was officially announced on July 13, 2017. It is scheduled to be released digitally had a wide digital release on July 21, 2017, under [[Trent Reznor]]'s label [[The Null Corporation]], and was followed by the release of a physical component the week of August 8 and a CD release on September 1October 13. A 12" vinyl version is also expected to follow. The EP's first track, "Less Than", was released digitally on July 13, 2017, with an accompanying music video directed by Brook Linder. "This Isn't The Place" was made available on the official NIN YouTube channel on July 18, 2017. As quoted in a press release on nin.com:<blockquote>"''ADD VIOLENCE'' finds Nine Inch Nails becoming more accessible and impenetrable at the same time. The sonic palette expands significantly from ''Not The Actual Events'', incorporating elements of beauty into the dark dissonance. The narrative arc linking the three records begins to emerge through the disassociated lyrics and the provocative and clue-filled cover artwork and accompanying physical component, available exclusively through the NIN.com store."</blockquote> The official nin.com website description states (akin to ''Not The Actual Events''): "PART TWO. THE VIEW WIDENS AND EVERYTHING IS IN QUESTION." ==EP Title==As with "Not The Actual Events", the title is derived from lyrics from the EP's first track. In this case, ''add a little violence'' from "Less Than". ==Hidden Themes / Possible ARG==With the amount of clues hinted at and unmistakable lyrical correlations present throughout both EPs, Reznor stated the following in an interview posted online on July 26, 2017:

As quoted by Trent Reznor on [[nin.com]]: <blockquote>"ADD VIOLENCE finds Nine Inch Nails becoming more accessible With the new EPs, I liked world-building, and impenetrable at writing music that can sit in that world. I was always the guy who desperately wanted the ''Dark Side of the same timeMoon'' to line up with ''The Wizard of Oz''. The sonic palette expands significantly from Not The Actual EventsI wanted to believe somebody was so far out of their mind that they figured that out. Fuck, incorporating elements of beauty into I got goose bumps just thinking about that possibility right now — the dark dissonanceidea that someone could be thinking so hard about an album. The narrative arc linking <br>What the three records begins obsessives maybe don’t know is that if I were to emerge through explain everything to you, or just explicitly lay out what the disassociated lyrics and new EP is about, you’d only be disappointed. You don’t really ''want'' to know. The experience of grappling with the provocative and clue-filled cover artwork and accompanying physical componentthing is what makes it interesting, available exclusively through not the NINimmediate gratification of going, 'Oh, that’s what it means.'"[http://www.vulture.com store/2017/07/trent-reznor-nine-inch-nails."html]</blockquote>

The curious "scratch marks" seen in the various iterations of the ''Not The Actual Events'' cover artwork also faintly appear in the upper right corner of the ''Add Violence'' cover, seemingly lining up to become an eventual bigger picture. It is worth noting that the digital edition cover artwork juxtaposed with the amazon.com commercial release bears subtle differences.
