By the end of the touring cycle (known as the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle|Self-Destruct]] tour), Reznor was miserable. He had sunk into addiction, and pressure from the label to begin work on a follow-up to ''The Downward Spiral'' took its toll. He stepped back for a little while and took time to sort things out.
In 1997, Reznor collaborated with [[David Lynch]] on the soundtrack for ''[[Lost Highwya Soundtrack|Lost Highway]]'', which resulted in a new standalone Nine Inch Nails single, ''[[The Perfect Drug (halo)|The Perfect Drug]]''. A home video package entitled ''[[Closure]]'' was also released that year, compiling tour footage from 1994-1995 as well as most of the [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music videos]] that had been made up to that point. These releases helped to appease fans during the long wait for the next album.

That same year, [[David Fincher]] asked Reznor and Ross to compose the score for his film ''[[The Social Network Soundtrack|The Social Network]],'' documenting the rise of Facebook. The score and film were released in fall of 2010. Both were met with much praise and accolades including a Golden Globe win and an Academy Award for Reznor and Ross. On January 7, 2011, Reznor announced that he would once again be collaborating with Fincher by composing the soundtrack to the US film adaptation of the bestselling novel ''[[The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Soundtrack|The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo]].'' The film was released in theaters in December of 2011.
The new foray into film scoring was a logical extension of what Reznor had previously done with ''[[Quake]]'' and production work on the soundtracks for ''[[Natural Born Killers Soundtrack|Natural Born Killers]]'' and ''Lost Highway''. In 2012, Reznor continued his work with How To Destroy Angels, releasing another EP and recording the long-awaited debut album, ''[[Welcome Oblivion (album)|Welcome Oblivion]]'', which was released on March 5, 2013. The album was supported by a brief [[How To Destroy Angels Live 2013|tour]].
