How To Destroy Angels is a band featuring Nine Inch Nails' mastermind Trent Reznor, his wife Mariqueen Maandig (formerly of West Indian Girl), and longtime collaborator Atticus Ross (12 Rounds).
In April 2010, it was announced via the group's PR company (Nasty Little Man) that they will release a 6 song EP in the summer. The first complete song, "A Drowning", was published on the Internet on May 4th, 2010. It is mixed by another longtime NIN collaborator, Alan Moulder.
Nine Inch Nails' photographer and art director Rob Sheridan is rumored also to be involved in the project in some way.
The group is named after a 1984 Coil EP of the same name.
To the haters: Coil actually provided remixes on the Further Down The Spiral album. The band name Mariqueen and Atticus chose is most likely an homage to Coil, as Trent himself was also quite a fan. If you were a Trent Reznor/NIN fan, you would already know that.
Your arguments and trolling are now rendered invalid.

Regarding the name, Peter Christopherson said it was fine - thequietus . c o m/articles/04504-sleazy-interview-coil-throbbing-gristle Quotes taken from the interview:
"Q: I see Trent Reznor has borrowed the title of Coil’s first official release for the name of his new band, How To Destroy Angels.
S: Always the perfect gentleman, Trent asked if I minded before going public and I told him I would be delighted."

@Lukas240681 No shit, faggot. Its an unoriginal name of a band that was clearly pulled from a title of a Coil song. You all are fucking morons. Place gun to head and pull trigger firmly, please.

People forget that this is NOT NIN... why all the troll posts? push next if you dont like it... but i think this is awesome. Trent reinventioned himself once again and found a mate in MQ who captures his twisted visions perfectly... like it or not... but you have to respect how he dares to go where nobody has been before him... He knows that only Ugly is beautiful...

this shit sucks. while i respect trent and atticus i think mariqueen is worthless. doesn't even have a decent voice.
I'll go listen to Ministry to get this shit out of my head.
