It was actually done by photographer Joseph Cultice, though he is uncredited on the packaging.[http://popispersonal.tumblr.com/post/14215317379] In an interview with ''Revolver'' magazine[https://www.revolvermag.com/culture/millipedes-manson-see-intimate-photos-nine-inch-nails-downward-spiral-era], Cultice elaborated on the photo shoot that resulted in the halo's cover:<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> ==Album Credits (track numbers as in US edition)==#Trent Reznor, [[Sean Beavan]], [[Brian Pollack]]#[[Coil]], [[Danny Hyde]]#[[Meat Beat Manifesto|Jack Dangers]], Craig Silvey#[[Dave Ogilvie]], Anthony Valcic, Joe Bisara#Trent Reznor, [[Robin Finck]], Sean Beavan, [[Chris Vrenna]], Brian Pollack, John van Eaton, Sugar and his friend#Bill Kennedy, Scott Humphrey, John "Geetus" Aguto, Paul Decarli, Eric Claudiex#[[Adrian Sherwood]]#Bill Kennedy, Scott Humphrey, John "Geetus" Aguto, Paul Decarli, Eric Claudiex#Trent Reznor, [[Flood]], [[Alan Moulder]]<br><br>*1–4, 6–9 written by Trent Reznor ©1994 Leaving Hope/[[TVT Records|TVT]] Music, Inc., ASCAP.
