How to Destroy Angels is a musical group featuring Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor, his wife Mariqueen Maandig, and Atticus Ross. The group is named after a 1984 Coil single of the same name. The band's first release is the self titled 6 track EP. It was released on June 1st, 2010 for free on the band's webpage, with the retail cd coming out today, july 6th, 2010.
I've been excited for this one since learning of there existance a few months back. With NIN over and done for now, an artist has to create and it didn't take long for Trent to head back into the studio for this. Naturally it's very NIN like in it's approach and sound with all the classic atmospheric,melodic pulsating industrial soundscapes Reznor is known for. Only this time we have a 2nd Reznor, Mariqueen for the most part fits the bill nicely she drifts in and out on many of the tracks with her faint whispers, and at times seductive delivery. It works, a Solid EP to tide us over till the next one, or perhaps intill the next NIN, who knows, but this project is definitely worth expanding on more in the future, let's hope.
