An Omen by How to destroy angels_

Despite the flawed first track, this record is another great addition to Reznor’s catalogue and an excellent step forward for How to destroy angels_.

How to destroy angels_ proves that for most artists, even those as accomplished as Reznor, it takes more than a new name or a personnel change for reinvention. 

omen_ is driven by atmosphere and texture, feeling at times like an offshoot of Reznor and Ross' soundtrack work, and at others a bit like Reznor's Ghost project.

The EP’s major aesthetic shifts do lead to one issue: the lack of a core or soul to How to destroy angels_, a shortcoming which will hopefully be resolved on the outfit’s forthcoming long-player.
