'''Coil''' was an experimental/industrial group primarily consisting of John Balance and [[Peter Christopherson]]. They were commissioned to do several [[Nine Inch Nails]] [[Remixes|remixes ]] and [[Trent Reznor]]'s side project, [[How To Destroy Angels]], was named after Coil's first single. Christopherson also directed several [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music videos]] for NIN and collaborated with Reznor on "[[Videodrones; Questions]]".
Many of the NIN remixes also employed part time Coil member Danny Hyde. Drew McDowall was an additional Coil credit on the ''[[Further Down The Spiral]]'' remixes. In an interview, Peter Christopherson also mentioned that Reznor asked Coil to do a remix of "[[The Perfect Drug (song)|The Perfect Drug]]", but he turned the offer down to focus on Coil's ''Backwards''. At one time the group planned on releasing ''Backwards'' through [[Nothing Records]], but this never happened. The ''Backwards'' demo surfaced and alternate incarnations of the songs appear on the Coil releases ''The Ape of Naples'' and ''The New Backwards''. The original ''Backwards'' was finally given a proper release in 2015.
