Possible music for our thriller

I've recently been looking at finished thriller intros from another school, http://www.longroadmedia.com/ and I noticed that every one of them had music in the background which was in most cases very effective, and I couldn't imagine them working without it. Thanks to this, I have gone in search for a song which would fit the mood of our thriller, and give it its own unique style. After a long search, I found this song.

"The Four Of Us Are Dying" by "Nine Inch Nails"
This song, as well as being available on the Internet for free in very high quality off the Nine Inch Nails website, fits the mood of our thriller perfectly. The steady rhythm holds a pace slightly faster than walking speed, which I think really adds to the mood, as it would have the effect of making the character seem impatient, and the slightly-off beat from the song in contrast to the shoes would make the viewer tense and impatient too, which sets them up for the film, and makes them relate better to the characters and film as a whole. The song has no lyrics, which is essential for the film, as lyrics would make the music seem more like a part of the mise-en-scene, and would make it less of the background music that we want and more a song that the audience can listen to separately to the film. The song is in a minor key, making it seem negative and foreboding, which is perfect for the theme of the film, which, as a thriller, must be quite negative. This will give the viewer the right impression of the film from the start, meaning they are ready for the style of film very early on. There is an eerie mix of distortion and clear, vibrating tones all the way through this track which gives a mixed message, and keeps the track interesting throughout. This would make the film seem confusing and complex, which is exactly how we want the audience to feel given the amount of double crossing and change in our views of the characters throughout. The eerie warbling undertones on their own are very effective, as they add to the atmosphere of the film and aid to make everything seem confusing and corrupt, as the simple noise is one normally associated with things going wrong, for example, when you hold a lot of buttons of a keyboard down you hear a similar tone. The distorted guitar would have the effect of making the city where the film is set feel dirty and corrupt, which fits in with one of the key themes of the film.

I think that the mix of the orderly repeated drum track underneath the confusing and seeming-random overtones make the track seem very confusing and complex, which fits the theme and style of the film perfectly, which is why I definitely think that this song should be at least experimented with when we begin editing.

Update: We have been told by our teacher that we are not allowed any copyrighted music in our thriller, which means that we can not use this song.

Update: I realised that I had once read that Nine Inch Nails encourage remixes of their songs, and had a look on their website regarding copyright. The album "The Slip" on which the song features, is released under a Creative Commons licence, meaning we can use it.
