How To Destroy Angels - The loop closes (Video)

[@brockduplechien2356]

Love how Trent and company were doing glitch art literally decades before mainstream picked it up and now they're just toying with people with how amazing the HTDA collective artwork is. It must be so frustratingly gratifying to be that far ahead of the curve.

[@Seedr0]

Brock Duplechien Poor rappers have to deal with finding "Niggy Tardust"...

[@gilsaraiva2830]

+Brock Duplechien so-called glitch art in these bands comes from Coil which Reznor worshipped/worked with even ....not too sure about older avant garde/ contemporary people such as Stockhausen and the like .The `mainstream` can go get fucked.

[@canobenitez]

+Seedr0 why the hate on saul williams? i find his collaborations with Trent great, i didn't check the reviews online, honestly i don't care, are we supposed to hate it?

[@Starlord-fe3yl]

+MarathonInfinityHalo no i actually do like it

[@benbancroft7648]

+Jim Grove ignore the better in that sentence

[@AnthonyPi1999]

10+ years later and this song still fucking CRUSHES

[@ChalfantMT]

Being a NIN fan all these years, how the hell have I taken this long to discover HTDA!?

[@shaunbukhuth4410]

This is to be listened with an open and clear mind freely without comparing it to anything Reznor has done previously and you will recognise the musical genius in him, Atticus and Mariqueen. For me it's a success. Peace.

[@AzazelZaphorOmega]

On the contrary, this like a female version of something from The Fragile...

[@kylemartos1937]

AzazelZaphorOmega I disagree. I think it sounds more like an ambient song in Year Zero.

[@RogRabbit]

That's right Shaun. A whole new style entirely different from Nine Inch Nails yet, it suits them well.

[@how_am_i_not_myself]

it's sounds like a chopped and sampled version of Into the Void. I just keep waiting for tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping

[@johnmontalbano6027]

Chopping and sampling something is a new take on it; what you're saying here is 'this reminded me of this other thing he did, except different, and I couldn't overcome that to enjoy it'

[@ZenShaman]

I love the progression from the ghosts album to this. seems natural, and atticus and mariqueen complete the closed loop. ✌❤

[@the2ndcoming135]

Right. I don’t want them to ever breakup😤

[@ff789n10]

Man, this song is wonderfully creepy. Like the theme about cycles, looping, repeating. Says a lot about life and human nature

[@The7lark]

Rob Sheridan's work... This guy is a genius.

[@alexdhamp]

+el rem Not Trent Reznor? O.o

[@The7lark]

Yes of course, for the music (with Atticus Ross and Mariqueen Maandig Reznor) but the video is a creation of Rob Sheridan. :) www.rob-sheridan.com/

[@alexdhamp]

el rem Ah, I see.

[@jessicavaleriam]

Increible how Rob put all the Trent's music in a visual way, two genius working together.

[@jointchief7560]

Im thankful Trent, for everything

[@kaaze7]

Tripp Griffin amen

[@jagdavies1]

as long as he records - be thankful !! - nobody has delivered as long as he has - no sign of weakness - ever

[@alexdhamp]

The beginning is the end, keeps comin' 'round again. Musical genius.

[@thewretched2474]

Something about being locked down because of the virus and listening to HTDA and NIN that go together...

[@JasonChamberlain]

Alright Trent Reznor is a musical Deity, there is no question, but we have to recognize the magnificent Rob Sheridan for his work on this video. The band's visuals are amazing.

[@symbologee]

some of his stuff ok...

[@MArtinezNINux]

that's definitely something I had to learn with this song in particular, I never gave it another play after I bought it, but after seeing the video I can't get the lyrics out of my head !

[@0neirocom]

seriously so much visual overload in the best possible fashion

[@chupzlunik]

My PC is a cheap old piece of junk and that's twice now that it's crashed right in the middle of trying to play that gorgeous music video in HQ. It literally cannot handle the awesomeness. Neither can I.

[@Towardabettermusic]

This is a piece of art. This transcends all of the meaningless mundane music videos that abound in today's music market. This is excellent use of video editing. Props to Rob Sheridan for the great work.

[@AzazelZaphorOmega]

Listens to this song...Then "So impressed with all you do...."

[@johnb2422]

I love "the downward spiral" staircase

[@jessikatkins1173]

JOHN B Ha...Good one.Very fitting! I think we all go on one at some point.

[@getthoseskills4451]

Love this style and direction. Trent is so talented. I also like the darker trip hop/electronica sounds of acts like Massive Attack, Portishead, Amon Tobin, DJ Krush, Tricky, Allflaws

[@jacquzzi]

I've had this song on repeat for the past few days. The loop has indeed closed, and I don't mind being trapped in it.

[@MrSleeeeeeep]

I just found out about this band and is now one of my favourites. No one makes music like this anymore. Fucking awesome, needs more likes and views!

[@eddysummers8020]

2019, still on mah dailyeee... c'mon! More HTDA!! Get a nanny mrs Reznor and get in da stoodio!

[@AzazelZaphorOmega]

I like listening to this on a loop...

[@HighSeasons]

getting an Into The Void vibe from this.......top tune!

[@boohoo3870]

Its 4:30am in UK where I'm watching this, the only source of light in my room is this video in HD... Hypnotised...

[@NINSLAYERZ3R0]

this would be mind blowing in live!, just imagine the groove and bass hitting on your chest while a smooth headbang unconsciously! *HTDA* "The loop closes" freaking awesome!!!

[@Mio248]

*Phone rings* Me: Hello? "Seven Days." Me: Sh$%!

[@justin.uwood25]

lol had chills watching it after I saw that comment

[@davidandthecrutch]

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally cried when Trent announce the end of NIN, and cried again when I heard of the 2013 tour! I'm more happy than I have been in a long time (is that sad?....no)

[@sataertaw]

Man, all of the VHS distortion makes me think I'm watching the Broken Movie version of Gave Up.

[@bencarlyle2155]

Thank you, please can i have some more?

[@colintesla]

Some tasty advanced synth sounds.

[@mercedesguy8520]

Old CNC machines and early 90s computers as industrial music Is what I feel and think about when I listen to this

[@noseemecoming]

I love this album, it feels like NIN/Trent, but something new and great at the same time.

[@cassidymav]

How may a song possibly feel so good?

[@ralphchunksoup4234]

He made loops of his voice ...fits really nice with maandig

[@bailey2167]

This music video has transported me back to the early 2000s with teeth concert at the amphitheater in Toronto 💗

[@ryanhom7524]

i would say the name is an homage to coil than theft. they did great work together a couple of times. but yeah coil is the best i just listened to the remote viewer album now im gonna put on time machines for sleepy time music

[@victoriapinter6523]

this always makes me think of the epilogue of "the stand."

[@MeekDrill]

Now I'm starting to dig this. I was not to blown away with the previous stuffs, this is getting better.

[@johnnydielea]

incredible I anticipated the style of this video ... several days before ...

[@stchaltin]

I'll keep coming back here.

[@TheFreakKitten]

Trent Reznor, Mariqueen Maandig, and Atticus Ross are Amazing in every single way Musical Geniuses

[@nekozombie]

this is such a masterpiece, I cannot fathom

[@elviraramos2899]

HTDA! Love them! Music for the deepdown!

[@Swordofdivinity]

"tried to save myself, but i keep slipping away...."

[@BR0K3NARCH3TYP3]

Nice visual context to define the aesthetic of the EP, particularly the cover art

[@DGX24]

This reminds me of intro credits for a tv show or something. Wouldn't matter what kind of show, I'd fucking watch it.

[@Axerty]

this is definitely a setlist opener right here.

[@tonydee7707]

It sounds like "The Downward Spiral", it looks like "The Downward Spiral", it contains the downward spiral itself. The loop isn't closes, the loop is closed. The beginning is the end...

[@SilentHillHeather]

Just got Welcome Oblivion, had never heard any of their work before, but I was aware that they were out there, and Trent was in the band....I took a listen and became VERY attached. Wish I would have gotten the EP that has the song The Space In Between, too. I watched that video and got chills! Trent has done it again, and his wife is amazingly talented! :) Im definitely in love

[@InHellITrust]

This song speaks my soul

[@zhubarb]

this is the sound track of my worst nightmares from mid 90's: "Dial up modem failed to connect to the internet"

[@AlvaAur]

Mesmerizing song and video...! Congratulations! I love the HTDA experiment... ...I want more!

[@katchmarik7393]

At 0:21 I hear Chocolate Chip Trip from Fear Inoculum...years before the album even came out. Sampled by Danny Carey?

[@LuBeliever]

To me this video causes me a lot of thrills, like if I want to shout the lyrics of the song, great video actually, my HTDA's favorite video.

[@tweek763]

The beginning is the end and, keeps coming 'round again.

[@DrCael]

lol This is awesome. Can Trent do no wrong? Definitely investing in this.

[@marsnels]

Can't get enough of the music Trent Reznor makes!!

[@MrShazDude]

This video is underrated, compared to the amount of views that all other videos on this channel have.

[@williamvswilliamproduction8409]

Did Trent just blow us a kiss at 3:21?

[@jessikatkins1173]

If he did,well spotted!!! He blew it to me only ;)

[@ChildIncomplete]

yep summer of 2013 he is touring europe fall of 2013 he is touring the USA then in 2014 their will be two new nin songs on a greatest hits compilation followed by a worldwide tour followed by a new NIN album :)

[@KnowledgeDude]

Amazing on a good HD screen. Great on anything else.

[@yoshimasu_k]

Hope they use these kinds of videos as their visual backdrop during Coachella!

[@A_New_Yorker_Lost_In_Florida]

the Anima of Trent... and can ya pick up on the song being revisited in this?...at the tip o ya tongue? welllll its "closer" than ya thinkl

[@ralphchunksoup4234]

All of this is amazing ...

[@Hepsmith]

i'm going to assume you're already a tool fan if you're into a deep visual experience combined with a musical masterpiece. am i right?

[@AlexOrozco-Social-Pariah]

This song is quite addictive. I'd like to know how to fix my pictures with that video glitch effect lol

[@rgstever]

Alex Orozco VHS tapedeck with a real CRT screen. Sorry; final cut pro can't replicate the analog domain correctly. Trent even shows how it's done.

[@AlexOrozco-Social-Pariah]

@@rgstever just watching the video after years of having posted this comment, I know how to imitate glitch effects now either in Photoshop or AE. But I'm still interested in an in depth interview of Sheridan explaining how he fucked up a ton of VHS's and other equipment in order to do this awesome piece of multimedia, it would certainly be entertaining, amusing and educational.

[@CeaneCilias]

@@AlexOrozco-Social-Pariah Rob has a post on his Patreon called “Getting Started with Analog Glitch” where he talks a bit about what he did for this music video

[@AlexOrozco-Social-Pariah]

@@CeaneCilias thanks! Will look for it later, I might have some ideas to use it with.
