How to Destroy Angels have released the video for the first single off their first full-length album, which is set for release on 5 March. The track is entitled How long? (the answer to which is 35 days), is one of the few How to Destroy Angels songs in which vocalist, Mariqueen Maandig-Reznor actually sings, instead of whispering breathlessly over her husband, Trent Reznor, and his long standing partner in crime, Atticus Ross', menacing and intricate soundscapes.
This is a much welcomed relief, and as a result, How long? is my favourite 'non-instrumental' song by the group to date. Hopefully more of the as yet unheard tracks on Welcome Oblivion will be more like this, as opposed to sounding like the songs offered on An Omen EP. Several songs from the An Omen EP will also be featured on the full-length album.
Welcome Oblivion will be available for pre order from the middle of February in digital, CD, and vinyl formats.
