History

Tapeworm's genesis occurred during Nine Inch Nails recording sessions following The Downward Spiral tours (c. 1996). While working on Nine Inch Nails material, sidemen Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser would often come up with ideas which Reznor felt were not right for his vision. Tapeworm developed as an outlet for this material—a democratic band in which Lohner and Clouser could act as equals with Reznor, as opposed to Reznor's sole leadership of Nine Inch Nails. The Downward Spiral (also known as Halo 8) is an LP by Nine Inch Nails released in 1994. ... 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...

As time went on, Tapeworm evolved into a supergroup, with guest musicians such as Maynard James Keenan, Page Hamilton, and Phil Anselmo recording material ostensibly to be used by the group [1]. Tommy Victor recorded material as well, and later told Rolling Stone that the continued delays on Tapeworm contributed to his decision to take a hiatus from music [2]. In the late 1960s, the term supergroup was coined to describe music groups comprising members who had already achieved fame or respect in other groups or as individual artists. ...

By 2002, Clouser had left Nine Inch Nails and was no longer associated with Tapeworm. The group, which now consisted of Reznor, Lohner, Keenan, and Atticus Ross, booked time in a recording studio in hopes of producing an album. An official website, tapeworm.net (now offline), was created with pictures from various recording sessions. In September, 2003, Lohner told Kerrang! that the album was "ready to mix" but was held up by legal issues stemming from label conflicts between Reznor and Keenan [3].

On May 8, 2004, Reznor announced that Tapeworm was "dead for the foreseeable future," citing label conflicts, A Perfect Circle obligations and lack of enthusiasm [4].

A Perfect Circle (often referred to as APC) was an alternative rock band, formed by guitarist Billy Howerdel. ...

"Vacant"

"Vacant" is the only publicly-performed song to be attributed to the Tapeworm project, as of 2006. It was initially written by Lohner and re-arranged by Clouser, with lyrics by Keenan and chorus by Reznor [7]. The song was first performed live by A Perfect Circle at the Keller Auditorium (Portland, Oregon) on January 31, 2001, and was subsequently played throughout their 2001 tour. Trent Reznor was apparently displeased at this public performance of music he felt still wasn't ready, and the track ended up in a revised form on A Perfect Circle’s eMOTIVe album under the title “Passive”. 2006 is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
