How To Destroy Angels – Welcome Oblivion

How To Destroy Angels – Welcome Oblivion

Earlier this month Trent Reznor’s youngest project HTDA celebrated the release of their debut album Welcome Oblivion. I was a huge fan of their self-titled first EP that came out in 2010, only mildly excited about the second EP Keep It Together that was released last year, and ultimately disappointed with How Long?, their first single release from the new album. To be honest, I wasn’t really anticipating the album and almost didn’t give it a chance. But I’m glad I did after all! Although a lot of the songs from the second EP and the mentioned single make up a large portion of the album it still turned out to be quite amazing. Read my review, listen to the album and check out the music videos after the jump.

How To Destroy Angels

If have been fond of Nine Inch Nails since their 2005 release The Hand That Feeds although that type of rock music is not exactly my genre. But their use of electronic beats and noisy e-gitarre riffs somehow attracted me. In 2009 band founder Trent Reznor decided to take a break with this project. Of course he would not stop making music. He soon was suspected to be involved in the whole iamamiwhoami affair. Turns out he’s not. His new project is equally haunting and started with a series of viral teasers as well. It’s called How To Destroy Angels and features the wonderful vocals of his wife Mariqueen Maandig. They just released the first video to The Space in Between as well as a brilliant 6 track EP as a free download. The album will follow in the summer. You MUST check this out! Look after the jump for the teaser clips, the stunning music video and the EP download link.
