About

An omen_ (EP) is the second extended play release by American post-industrial group How to Destroy Angels, released November 13, 2012. Produced by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, his wife Mariqueen Maandig and long time collaborator Atticus Ross, the EP contains various tracks off of the yet-unnamed debut album from the band (tentatively scheduled for release in Spring 2013), and is focused on Maandig's vocal style, following a lighter tone to its predecessor. The full EP was released for streaming purposes on November 8, 2012 at The Hype Machine and the band's official Soundcloud channel, five days before the official release date, then was released in digital and vinyl formats afterwards. As with many of Reznor's official releases, each is designated with a unique name and number: An omen_EP is "SIGIL 03". The release was announced by Trent Reznor in 2011, and initially slated for a November 2011 street date. However, due to Reznor feeling unsatisfied with the output, it was put off until he felt it was up to standard, taking it on what he referred to as a 'Mulholland Test Drive.' The title was announced on September 22, 2012 as An omen_ EP. This is Reznor's first musical release from either Nine Inch Nails or How To Destroy Angels on Columbia Records, and the first non-independent release since Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero Remixed, which was released on Interscope Records.
