It was released digitally on July 21, 2017, though pre-orders through [[nin.com]] allowed for a download two days early. This EP acts as the second installation installment of a '''[[The Trilogy|trilogy]]''', following the 2016 release of ''[[Not The Actual Events]]'', and preceding the 2018 release of ''[[Bad Witch]]''.

The EP was officially announced on July 13, 2017. It 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 October 13. A 12" vinyl version followed on November 17. The EP's Its 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.

<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>

<blockquote>"<p>With the new EPs, I liked world-building, and writing music that can sit in that world. I was always the guy who desperately wanted the ''Dark Side of the Moon'' to line up with ''The Wizard of Oz''. I wanted to believe somebody was so far out of their mind that they figured that out. Fuck, I got goose bumps just thinking about that possibility right now — the idea that someone could be thinking so hard about an album. <br>What the obsessives maybe don’t know is that if I were to explain everything to you, or just explicitly lay out what the new EP is about, you’d only be disappointed. You don’t really ''want'' to know. The experience of grappling with the thing is what makes it interesting, not the immediate gratification of going, 'Oh, that’s what it means.'"[http://www.vulture.com/2017/07/trent-reznor-nine-inch-nails.html]</blockquotep>
