How To Destroy Angels - "The Space in Between" video

How To Destroy Angels is a collaboration between Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor, his wife and former vocalist of West Indian Girl Mariqueen Maandig, and producer Atticus Ross. The band recently released the video for the "The Space in Between" off of their eponymous upcoming EP. It's a pretty interesting video, presenting the aftermath of a brutal murder scene in a hotel room. Maandig's corpse sings along as it slowly catches fire, and Reznor spends the video lying face down on the floor, covered in blood. A typical upbeat venture for Reznor. The music itself sounds like Maandig's vocals were pasted on top of a long lost Nine Inch Nails instrumental, and that's not a bad thing. Her smooth, quiet delivery provides a stark contrast to the rumbling, ominous programming behind it, lending a sense of cold detachment to the track.

"How To Destroy Angels" drops sometime this summer. Watch the video for "The Space in Between" below.
