Nine Inch Nails foreman Trent Reznor has revealed the new title for his next album, which is due out early next year.

Originally titled "Bleedthrough," Reznor has since dubbed the set "With Teeth," according to NIN's website.

In a message posted to the site on Friday (12/3), Reznor said that he is currently working on a track titled "Only." He added that the new album "is a more lyric-based record than [its 1999 predecessor] 'The Fragile.'"
