Remember those super cryptic pictures Trent Reznor was posting on Nine Inch Nails’ website in February and March? Turns out the may have not been for a Nine Inch Nails record after all.

A website for a mysterious project called How To Destroy Angels has been launched, and a photo on its page features a person who looks very much like Mariqueen Maandig, Reznor’s wife.

A 40-second teaser video is also on the page.

A publicist also sent out a cryptic email to publications like Consequence Of Sound, stating only “self-titled 6-track EP out this summer. Exact date TBA.”

Journalists have already speculated the project is a collaboration between Reznor and Maandig, since the photo looks like her, the video resembles many that have been posted to NIN’s website in the past and the band’s logo resembles work done by Nine Inch Nails graphic artist Rob Sheridan.

Further to that, How To Destroy Angels is the title of an album by dark ambient artists Coil, who Reznor has previously said are one of his biggest influences.

Who knows if this is real or just some kind of ruse, but it definitely smells of Reznor.

Earlier this year, Reznor was suspected of being the source of the Iamamiwhoami web series on YouTube. It was later revealed Swedish singer/songwriter Jonna Lee had been posting the videos.

Maandig is the former singer for California’s West Indian Girl, and left the band last year.
