"'''''Sin'''" '' is the seventh song from track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]. '' Obviously, this song is about sex, viceral desires, lust and guilt. Remixes were featured on the ''[[Sin (halo)|Sin]] '' single along with a B-side (a cover of Queen's "[[Get Down, Make Love]]") . The song is often amped up live to a more dancable version of the song. ===Appearances=== *[[Purest Feeling II]] (fake demo)*[[Pretty Hate Machine]]*[[Sin (halo)|Sin]] (remixes)*[[Closure]] (video)*[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]] (live) ===Versions=== *Sin*Sin (Short)*Sin (Dub)*Sin (Long)

This version is used in the music video. ==Live==Coming soon. ==Music Video==A video was released in 1990, using the "(Short)" remix of the song. It was directed by [[Brett Turnbull]]. The video features featured two girls dancing with each other at the beginning before cutting to the main focus of the video. A woman, naked nude except for what looks like straps to spelunking gear and a halogen lamp, walking a shirtless, wrist -bound [[Trent Reznor]] with a bag over his head through what looks like an industrial warehouse complex. He is then strapped into a large rotary harness where she spins him throughout the remainder of the video. These scenes are intercut with two young gay lovers who eventually fight and make up, 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.

The video was banned from MTV and most major outlets. A partial version of the video can be found on ''[[Closure]]''. There were reports that the complete video was shown at dance clubs in the early 1990s and can now be found on the [[NINternet]].
