Changes

On March 13, the source files for the song were released in GarageBand format at [[nin.com]]. "Survivalism" is the third [[NIN ]] song to be officially released as [[multitracks]].

Found on ''Year Zero'' as well as the ''Survivalism'' single and promo. Characterized by much synthetic layering and a consistent eighth note drum machine pulse, matched by a single note bass riff that begins on the second eighth and ends on the eighth before repeating. This gives the song an apparent metric shift one eighth note forward, though the first downbeat of each measure is actually in the space between the stop and start of the bass and guitar riff. The chorus features many layers of group vocals, including some by Saul Williams. After the final chorus, a new guitar riff leads off a coda that builds in layers of drones until suddenly stopping and leading into "[[The Good Soldier]]"."

David Andrew Sitek is a member of [[TV On The Radio]], who opened for [[Nine Inch Nails]] during the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour. This remix was originally available as a UK-only iTunes bonus track included with the full album download of ''Year Zero.'' . It was later also released on the [[Capital G (halo)|''Capital G'' single]]. It is similar to the original song sound-wise, but features a heavier and more plodding drum line. Additionally, it enhances Williams' back up backup vocals and makes them more prominent than in the original. The structure and length of the song remains relatively unchanged.
