'''How To Destroy Angels''' (stylised as '''"How to destroy angels_"''') is a musical project announced in April 2010, when they released a series of [http://vimeo.com/destroyangels teaser videos]. The band is named after ''[[wp:How to Destroy Angels (single)|How To Destroy Angels]]'', a song, and first release, by [[Coil]]. The first single, "[[A Drowning]]" was released on May 4th 2010 via Pitchfork Media.

The band was originally signed with [[The Null Corporation]], but in 2012 signed to Columbia Records.
In June 2010, [[Trent Reznor ]] indicated a hopeful Q1 2011 release for a full length album in [http://destroyangels.tumblr.com/post/660231753/are-you-planning-on-releasing-a-full-lp-if-so-when an answer to a Tumblr question]. On July 29, 2010, Trent Reznor posted on his Twitter account that new HTDA music was in progress. On November 27, 2010, HTDA posted on Facebook: "We are fully immersed in working on new material right now. Lots coming in 2011!".
On February 26, 2011, Trent Reznor revealed that the first full-length album had been finished and would be released in early Fall 2011. He also revealed that the album would be free, with the options of higher-quality sound files for money and a physical release. After signing to a major label the following year, the free album concept was no longer viable and the release was also pushed back to 2013.
