Changes

[[Image:Nothing.gif|thumb|right|Nothing Records logo]]'''Nothing Records ''' was the record label founded by [[Trent Reznor ]] and [[John Malm Jr.]] in 1992. The label was run from within its larger parent company, [[Interscope]], and became defunct as of 2004. A full list of releases bearing the Nothing imprint can be viewed at the [[Nothing Records catalog]].

Nothing Records is most well-known for its first two original signings, [[Nine Inch Nails ]] and [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]. Other artists signed to Nothing rarely attained the same level of popularity that NIN and Manson did. However, the label gained a semi-iconic status within the industrial rock scene and set up Radio Nothing over the internet as a way to provide a collection of free MP3 music streams, compiled by Nothing label artists, producers and fans.

Interscope stopped funding Nothing Records in 1998, and as a result, it began operating at a deficit.

In a May 5, the Nine Inch Nails website announced "nothing studios: 1994-2004"2005, suggesting that post to [[Nothing Studiosnin.com]] was no more, as well as proving to Reznor wrote, ''"To be the end of the associated record labelclear: my involvement with Nothing Records is over. Trent Reznor went on Is Nothing Records alive or an entity? You'd have to sue co-founder ask John Malm Jr. for fraud (among other thingswe're not really speaking that much these days), thus ensuring ... Nothing studios is still in New Orleans and I'm not sure what I'll do with it. I'll figure that the Nothing era had endedout when I finish touring."''

In a May 5, 2005 post to While ''[[nin.comWith Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]], Trent wrote, "To be clear: my involvement with Nothing Records is over. Is Nothing Records alive or an entity? You'd have to ask John Malm (we're not really speaking that much these days)... Nothing studios is still in New Orleans and I'm not sure what I'll do with it. I'll figure that out when I finish touring." While With Teeth and its following singles carry the Nothing Records logo, Reznor has publicly stated that this was at the insistence of John Malm. One curiosity is that the "[[Survivalism (song)|Survivalism]]" promos carry the "Nothing" label, but the singles do not.

Additionally, [[Coil ]] was under contract for a record but it was never not deliveredbefore Nothing was dissolved. Furthermore, John Bergin was signed briefly under the name Trust Obey, but the album he recorded (''Hands of Ash'') was released on Fifth Column Records instead, with a sticker quoting Reznor's reaction to the recording: "Not a great commercial potential."
