Trent Reznor’s first post-NIN offering will be with his new band How To Destroy Angels, which features his wife Mariqueen Maandig and long-time programmer Atticus Ross. Judging from the first set of press photos, the band will feature Maandig and hopefully allow Ross to offer his talents (see Error). The first single from the upcoming EP to be release this summer is the Fragile/Still-esque “A Drowning.” Download the track here or stream it below:
You knew it was only a matter of time before all the controversy involving the hatemongers on Twitter vs. Trent Reznor and his new fiance Mariqueen Maandig came to a screeching halt. Reznor tweeted for the last time a link to a message on the NIN forums announcing the end of his “interesting experiment.” Reznor’s latest online conflict occurred with a blogger named Fred W. Garrett, who questioned Trent’s motives for raising money for Eric De La Cruz’s heart transplant and his treatment of fans who won tickets through his Twitter contests. Trent also mentions the term Metal Sludge and describes it as:
Metal Sludge is the home of the absolutely worst people I’ve ever come across. It’s populated mainly by unattractive plump females who publicly fantasize about having sex with guys in bands. Kind of like a role-playing game where people NOBODY will fuck make up stories about their incredible sexual encounters with people they WISH they could fuck.
He also gives some advice for the contingency:
Cutter’s tip for my friends there: remember to cut along the length of vein, not across. Bigger payoff.
In his Twitter-less universe, Reznor does have a plan:
I have business in the real world to attend to including wrapping up the live version of NIN, DOING some cool new shit and spending as much time as possible with the most amazing woman in the world.
