[[Rob Sheridan]] was later listed as a member of the band by the release of the [[How To Destroy Angels (album)|first EP]], mainly in a visual capacity. The band had an official site at [[howtodestroyangels.com]]. ==Biography==The project was announced in April 2010, with only some when the band released a series of [http://vimeo.com/destroyangels teaser videos] released. The band is named after ''[[wp:How to Destroy Angels (single)|How To Destroy Angels]]'', a song, and first release, by [[Coil]].

The band announced via twitter on November 30, 2011 that they would be putting out a cover of Bryan Ferry's "[[Is Your Love Strong Enough?]]" on ''[[The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Soundtrack]]''. On February 26, 2011, Trent Reznor revealed that the first full-length album had been finished and would be released in early Fall 2011. He also revealed that the album would be free, with the options of higher-quality sound files for money and a physical release. On September 21, 2012, after several months of hinting, Reznor finally announced that the band's second release, ''[[An Omen EP]]'', would be released on November 13th. Reznor also announced that the band was now signed with [[Columbia Records]] and would be releasing their full length album, ''[[Welcome Oblivion (album)|Welcome Oblivion]]'', in early 2013. The band was originally signed with [[The Null Corporation]] but in signing to a major label, the free album concept was no longer viable. The album was released on March 5, 2013 and was followed by a short North American tour, featuring [[Alessandro Cortini]] as a touring member. The band has been effectively on hiatus since the conclusion of that tour. ==Discography==''See also [[Sigil numbers]].'' ===EPs===*''How To Destroy Angels'' - 2010*''An Omen EP'' - 2012===Albums===*''Welcome Oblivion'' - 2013===Singles===*''A Drowning'' - 2010*''[[Keep It Together (single)|Keep It Together]]'' - 2012*''[[How Long?]]'' - 2013 ===Music Videos===*"[[The Space In Between]]" - 2010*"Keep It Together" - 2012*"[[Ice Age]]" - 2012*"[[The Loop Closes]]" - 2013*"How Long?" - 2013===Other Appearances===*''The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Soundtrack'' - performing "Is Your Love Strong Enough?"
