}}'''"Sanctified"''' is the fourth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'', recognizable by its electronic tom-based drum beat and distinctive slap bassline, the only NIN song containing that playing technique. Its mood was altered from its happier form on ''[[Purest Feeling (halo)|Purest Feeling]]'' to a darker, uneasier one for ''Pretty Hate Machine.''

The album version of the song begins with a programmed drum beat featuring prominent toms and atmospheric sounds created by guitar. The body of the song is dominated by a slap bassline atop this atmosphere and drumloop, joined by strumming guitars for the chorus. A The bridge featuring features Gregorian chant samples and dialog from the film ''Midnight Express'' was released without , though the film sample in was excised on the 2010 remaster of ''Pretty Hate Machine''. The end of the song is comprised of a synth pad and a guitar drone (created by [[Richard Patrick]]), accompanied by another sample, which lower in pitch and winds down, segueing directly into "[[Something I Can Never Have]]." On the 2010 remastered vinyl edition, this song ends the first side; as such, the ending sample is removed, and the descending synth pad fades out. ===Sanctified (''Live 2013 EP'')===Recorded live at [[2013/08/02 Chicago, IL|Lollapalooza Festival 2013]].
