Next Up for Trent Reznor: Something from How to Destroy Angels

As all Trent Reznor/NIN followers know, one of this projects is How to Destroy Angels, a group consisting of Trent, his wife and Atticus Ross, his partner for soundtracks.  An EP came out a couple of year ago.  And that’s been it.

However, resident listmaker Brent Chittenden was online when a couple of pictures popped up on the How to Destroy Angels Facebook page.  They led him to this statement:

Sorry for the radio silence lately… I’ve been busy! There’s a number of things to be revealed over the coming months. Some you may expect, others you may not. Patience, my friends.

Today’s news is about my band How To Destroy Angels. I’m happy to announce we’ve formally partnered with Columbia Records for our next series of releases. The first of these will be available in November and it’s called An Omen EP. As you may have guessed, it’s an EP. It contains six songs, some of which are from our full-length LP which is coming early next year.

We are making some videos, we are going to be performing live, and that’s all the details I have for now on those matters.

Regarding our decision to sign with Columbia, we’ve really spent a long time thinking about things and it makes sense for a lot of reasons, including a chance to work with our old friend Mark Williams. There’s a much more granular and rambling answer I could give (and likely will in an interview someplace) but it really comes down to us experimenting and trying new things to see what best serves our needs. Complete independent releasing has its great points but also comes with shortcomings. 

We are all very excited about you checking out the new stuff. Wish I could tell you more, but you know how this works… it would take all the fun out of it!

One thought on “Next Up for Trent Reznor: Something from How to Destroy Angels

  • This should be yet another cool project from Trent Reznor. If you liked the first EP from HTDA I would highly suggest checking out the soundtrack to 'Book of Eli' which features the work of Atticus Ross. EXCELLENT album for what I think was an EXCELLENT film. One of those records you can just program to repeat and hit play.
