It was released on March 8, 1994. It is likely the most acclaimed and well-known of the band's discography, and is said to have brought "industrial" music to the mainstream. A collection featuring [[Remixes|remixes]] from ''The Downward Spiral'' was released as ''[[Further Down The Spiral]]'' on June 1, 1995.
