This band is definitely a little weird, but in a great way. It is Trent Reznor's latest project with his wife Mariqueen Maanpig (Former member of West Indian Girl), and Atticus Ross (worked on various projects including co-producing Coheed and Cambria's album Year of The Black Rainbow). They currently have a free EP available on their website www.howtodestroyangels.com in 320kbps while you can also pay 2 dollars to get a high definition version of the EP as well.
I love HTDA! Wonderful ep they made and some really good songs too. Trent is really outdoing himself.
Yeah, to be honest, i didnt think i would like this band, but i gave the EP a listen today, and i was like, HOLY SHIT THIS IS GREAT!
Last time i checked, we arent free to necropost anywhere, and you can get infractions for it. I like this place too much to take that chance
Smart not to necropost! The group is great. I had no idea she was from West Indian Girl. I'm really looking forward to an entire album.
Honestly, I like it more than most of Nine Inch Nails recent stuff (blasphemy to most of you, I'm sure). I wish Reznor did more singing on it as I prefer his voice to his wife's, but she's still good as well.
How To Destroy Angels EP is probably better than The Slip, but that's all I'll give you hah. And yeah, NIN thread = official thread, and even so, bumping a thread with some relevance should be fine.
My opinion on With Teeth has changed as the years have passed. It's a solid album. I think one of these days I'm going to listen to all of the studio albums and write reviews and rank them. That's something to do on my vacation in a few weeks time. As for How to Destroy Angels... I can't wait for the actual album. This is just a teaser, a sampler. And it's probably in my top 5 for the year, it's that good, to me anyway. Mariqueen is just... I wish I knew who she was before she was involved with Trent so I wouldn't feel like I'm jumping on the bandwagon, but goddamn is she an excellent singer and songwriter, seriously. It's like all of the noisy and somber parts of Nine Inch Nails, but with a female singing.
I knoooow, the actual album is going to be a big mindfuck for me A Drowning and Fur Lined are probably my favorites on the EP, but there isnt any bad songs on the EP. And i much prefer Mariqueen over Trent as far as voice wise
Well this is gonna piss you off [youtube]wGz3Neb9Ik8[/youtube] Also I'm not that into HTDA despite being a huge Reznor fan, and being initially excited by the concept. I've listened to the full EP probably once and A Drowning dozens of times, but overall it's too "The Slip" for me which is a shock because Trent has never been one to repeat himself. Hopefully it was just one slip up.
