A month before its official release I was able to experience the debut EP from supergroup of Trent Reznor, his wife Mariqueen Maandig, and Atticus Ross, How To Destroy Angels (taken from the name of Coil's debut EP) free courtesy of th...eir website (although guaranteed I will be buying this on CD when it comes out). This is a really exciting debut, if you can say that band with this much talent and experience can really have a debut anymore. Reznor and Atticus are also certainly no strangers to supergroups or collaborations having both contributed to a number over the years. Five of the songs are just great sort of trip-hop/industrial that really reminds me of Collide, and the fifth (Fur Lined) is basically just a fun electro song (which actually breaks up things rather nicely). Of course the production is great as is to be expected and I love Maandig's vocals. If you can still download this free off the website then I recommend doing so but either way definitely pick it up in July when it drops as I'm sure it'll be full of some of other goodies by then as Reznor is now known to do. When this band tours I definitely plan on going (and how can you not love a band with such a great name). Favorite Tracks: A Drowning, The Believers, and Parasite
