Pretty Hate Machine

Pretty Hate Machine, the first Nine Inch Nails album, was released on 18 October 1989, as Halo 2 and featured three singles:

• Halo 1: “Down in It”
• Halo 3: “Head Like a Hole”
• Halo 4: “Sin”

It was immensely successful, and was one of the first independent records to achieve RIAA platinum status.

In 2010 the album was re-released as HALO 2R, with new artwork and the bonus song “Get Down, Make Love”, a Queen cover song that was originally released on Halo 4.
