==Release==
The album was announced alongside the video release for "[[The Loop Closes]]," one of four tracks to be featured on both this album and the band's previous release, ''[[An Omen EP]].'' The first single to be released from the album (that was not already on ''An Omen'') was "[[How Long?]]" on January 31st, accompanied by its music video and an announcement of the tracklisting and the vinyl's album art.
On February 19th, HTDA made And the Sky Begins To Scream, the first track from Welcome Oblivion to have not been on An Omen, for free via text service Maebe.
Like the band's [[How To Destroy Angels (album)|first EP]], the CD and vinyl versions of the album will have different artwork.
