Named after a 1984 <a href="spotify:artist:37KB5e6cGsN1AQAB9Omm1U">Coil</a> single, How to Destroy Angels feature <a href="spotify:artist:0X380XXQSNBYuleKzav5UO">Nine Inch Nails</a>' <a href="spotify:artist:0hRijdwO8UsJMudc3476ma">Trent Reznor</a>, former <a href="spotify:artist:4eaPczfOC8ismLJBltxgbq">West Indian Girl</a> singer (and <a href="spotify:artist:0hRijdwO8UsJMudc3476ma">Reznor</a>'s wife) Mariqueen Maandig, and <a href="spotify:artist:5HARKwnZLNQBeUGsTHX2AM">Atticus Ross</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:2sMHGUKPifyKf70itkEsox">12 Rounds</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0X380XXQSNBYuleKzav5UO">NIN</a>). Work on the project began a few months after <a href="spotify:artist:0X380XXQSNBYuleKzav5UO">Nine Inch Nails</a>' final show of their Wave Goodbye tour in September 2009. The following spring, the group made its debut with the single A Drowning and a video for the song "The Space in Between," which premiered that May. Soon after, the band made its self-titled debut EP -- which was produced by <a href="spotify:artist:5HARKwnZLNQBeUGsTHX2AM">Ross</a> -- available as a free download. That July, How to Destroy Angels was released on CD through the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Null%22">Null</a> label. In 2011, the group contributed a cover of <a href="spotify:artist:5RNFFojXkPRmlJZIwXeKQC">Bryan Ferry</a>'s "Is Your Love Strong Enough" to the soundtrack of the David Fincher film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which <a href="spotify:artist:0hRijdwO8UsJMudc3476ma">Reznor</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5HARKwnZLNQBeUGsTHX2AM">Ross</a> also scored. The following year, How to Destroy Angels prepared their second release, An Omen EP, which became their first major-label recording. A full-length album called Welcome Oblivion appeared in March 2013, just after <a href="spotify:artist:0hRijdwO8UsJMudc3476ma">Reznor</a> announced he was planning to take a new version of <a href="spotify:artist:0X380XXQSNBYuleKzav5UO">Nine Inch Nails</a> on the road in 2014. Welcome Oblivion peaked at number 30 on the Billboard 200 and featured the single "How Long?" ~ Heather Phares
