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.
