The Downward Spiral (Deluxe Edition)

The Downward Spiral (also known as Halo 8) is Nine Inch Nails' second studio album, though it is largely considered the third major release after the Broken EP, which consisted of entirely new material. 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 from The Downward Spiral was released as Further Down The Spiral on June 1, 1995.

To mark the album's tenth anniversary, The Downward Spiral was re-released on November 23, 2004 in two new formats:

As a 2-CD "Deluxe Edition" (labeled Halo 8 DE). The first disc is an SACD/CD hybrid featuring the album in high-resolution stereo and 5.1 surround sound. The second disc is a SACD/CD hybrid that features various remixes, b-sides, demos, and other non-album tracks that were available around the time of the original release, in high-resolution stereo.

As a DualDisc (labeled Halo 8 DVD-A). The CD side features a digitally remastered version of the album. The DVD side includes high-resolution stereo and 5.1 surround sound versions of the album playable on DVD-Audio players, and Dolby Digital stereo and 5.1 surround sound versions playable on standard DVD players. It also includes music videos for "Closer" (director's cut), "March Of The Pigs", and "Hurt" (live). Also included is a gallery of artwork from The Downward Spiral era (though many photos of Closure artwork are also included) and a discography.
