'''''Sin''''' is the seventh track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' Obviously, this song is about sex, visceral 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 danceable version of the song.

==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, 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 genitalia (both male and clitorisfemale), 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]].
