It is the band's first full-length release and their third release in all. It was released by [[Columbia Records]] on March 5th, 2013. It is labeled as [[Sigil numbers|Sigil 4]]. The vinyl release of the album comes with two bonus tracks. When downloaded from HTDA's official store, the tracks each come with their own artwork, a variation of the head from the album's art.
[[Rob Sheridan]] describes the album's concept as "anxiety of information overload as humanity and technology converge and presenting technological singularity and post-humanism as both a terrifying and transformative moment for mankind and nature."

===Digital===
Whilst the digital version of the album is officially listed as the same as the CD version, some download sites have listed it with the band's eponymous [[How To Destroy Angels (album)|first EP ]] included as "bonus tracks".
==Release==
''[[An Omen EP]]'', released November 2012, served as a precursor to the album, with four of its six tracks featuring on ''Welcome Oblivion'', three of which had a music video.
The album was announced alongside the video release for "The Loop Closes," one of four tracks to be featured on both this album and ''An Omen EP''. The first single to be released from the album (that was not already on ''An Omen EP'') was "How Long?" on January 31st, accompanied by its music video and an announcement of the tracklisting and the vinyl's album art.
[[wiki:Kevin Martin (British musician)|The Bug]] was originally to appear on the album, providing a musical hook for one of the tracks (which one is unknown). However, as [[Mariqueen Maandig]] "couldn't get happy with her voice on it"[sic], the hook was ultimately scrapped. The Bug has stated he'll use it in his own music in the future.[https://twitter.com/thebugzoo/status/303918496440537088]
Like the band's [[How To Destroy Angels (album)|first EP]], the CD and vinyl versions of the album have different artwork. Due to a printing issue, the vinyl edition of the album was delayed until the 19th of March.
