Though still in the midst of a US summer tour, Nine Inch Nails [ tickets ] have rolled out a full slate of shows that will see the industrial rockers canvas North America this fall.

The group, which wraps up its current US leg early next month, will spend the first half of October on a South American jaunt, and will kick off their next batch of North American roadwork with a trio of previously announced mid-October shows in Mexico. The South of the Border dates segue into the newly announced batch of US and Canadian dates, which comprise more than 30 shows stretching into mid-December.

Details for NIN's North American tour are included below, and the South America dates are posted at the group's website.

NIN is working the road behind "The Slip," a full-length album that bandleader Trent Reznor self-released for free via the Internet in May. The downloadable version of the set is still available at NIN's website, and a physical configuration surfaced last month in the form of 250,000 individually numbered digipaks housing an audio CD of the album and a live DVD featuring footage of the group rehearsing five songs for its 2008 tour.

A vinyl version of the album, featuring the record's 11 tracks on 180-gram vinyl with a 24-page booklet, hit stores in the US and Canada last week.

As of last month, "The Slip" had been downloaded 1.6 million times worldwide since its May 5 release, according to a press release.

Joining frontman and sole fulltime NIN member Reznor on the current tour are guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist Alessandro Cortini, drummer Josh Freese and bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen. Aside from Meldal-Johnsen--best known for his work with Beck--all have played with the band in the past, with Cortini and Freese having participated in the band's 2005 and 2006 world tours, and Finck a veteran of the band's tours behind 1994's "Downward Spiral" and 1999's "The Fragile."

"The Slip" follows NIN's surprise March release, "Ghosts I-IV," a four-disc, 36-track instrumental collection. The first of the album's four volumes can be downloaded free from NIN's website, and fans have the option of paying $5 for the other three volumes. The collection was also offered in a variety of configurations ranging from $10 for a physical double-CD set to $300 for an "ultra-deluxe limited edition" that sold out within in the first two days of the album's release.
