[[Image:Ctg cover.jpg|thumb|Halo 9 - ''Closer To God'']]
'''''Closer To God''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 9]]'''''), released on May 3019, 1994, is a [[Remixes|remix]] compilation released to promote the [[Nine Inch Nails]] song "[[Closer]]" from the album ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' The UK releases singles were released on June 6, 1994 and do not bear a halo number.
The "[[Closer#Closer (Thrust)|Thrust]]" remix of "Closer" was intended for this release, but was left off. [[Trent Reznor]] would later release it for free on [[remix.nin.com]]. Another mix that was released on the unofficial download-only compilation ''[[Recoiled#Uncoiled|Uncoiled]]'', and later released semi-officially on ''[[Recoiled]]'', may have originally been planned for release on ''Closer To God''.
This version incorporates tracks from both UK EPs, sharing cover image with first and subtitle with second.

<sup>*Indicated tracks A1 and B2 have longer run times on this release because they lack the transitions/sequencing applied on the other releases. "Closer to God" repeats the decaying outro for a few more stanzas before fading out, in "Heresy (Blind)" the percussion drops out followed by a fade-out.</sup>
==Artwork==
<blockquote>I never shot still lifes of bugs before. But I'd assisted a guy named Hans Neleman, who was lighting things with mirrors and little teeny hot lights and laying things between layers and layers of glass — that's like coffee and milkshakes and snot and dirt and stuff from the street. On this one the bug is right on top and sharp, but all that stuff below is different layers of junk on the glass. Remember that movie ''Interview With a [sic] Vampire''? It had just finished wrapping … The guy that brought the bugs was part of the company that did all the animal wrangling for ''Interview With a [sic] Vampire'' — all the alligators and all that. He brought boxes and boxes — like Ikea clear boxes — filled with millipedes and cockroaches. We shot like 50 different pictures of bugs, and this is the one that turned out to be the cover. Trent was there the whole day, because he wanted to hang out with the bugs.</blockquote>
