"'''Sin'''" (also known as '''''Halo 4''''') is a single for the song of the same name. It was released in 1990.
==The Single==
"Sin" is the fourth official Nine Inch Nails release and the final single for the album ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]''. It contains three remixes of "Sin" from ''Pretty Hate Machine'' and Nine Inch Nails' first cover song. Even though the front has a stylized graphic that simply says "Sin" and everyone calls it "Sin" (including the [http://www.nin.com/halo/index.html official NIN webite]), the spine of the US version refers to the album as "Sin ''Long, Dub & Short''".
"Get Down, Make Love" is a cover of the Queen song originally released on the album "News of the World".
==The Video==
A video was released, using the "(short)" remix of the song, which featured two girls dancing with each other at the beginning, cutting to a black and white footage of a woman, naked except for what looks like straps to spelunking gear and a halogen lamp, walking a wrist bound [[Trent Reznor]] with a bag over his head through what looks like an industrial warehouse complex and eventually to strap him into a large rotary harness where she spins him throughout the video. These scenes are intercut with two young gay lovers who eventually fight, a man and woman wearing ritualistic dressings and dancing, as well as visuals of a pierced penis and clitoris, all reflecting the song's dark, sexual aspects.
