The Day The World Went Away (halo)

Halo 13 - The Day The World Went Away

The Day The World Went Away (also known as Halo 13), released on July 20, 1999, is the first single to promote the album The Fragile.

The version of "Starfuckers, Inc." on the single has a snippet of a live version of "Shout It Out Loud" by KISS tacked onto the end. On the cassette single, this is followed by very faint shouts of "Nine Inch Nails!" in the audience.

Artwork

The plant photographed for the cover is a kangaroo paw. Though David Carson designed the majority of The Fragile era artwork, this single was designed by Robert Hales.[1] Hales later co-directed the video for "Starfuckers, Inc." with Marilyn Manson. Two alternate, unused covers were published on nin.com during The Fragile era. The plant photographed for the first (per the order on this page) unused cover is a split rock plant.
