}} '''"Ruiner"''' is the sixth track on ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' In 2004, a demo version was released with the 10th Anniversary 2-disc Deluxe Edition of ''The Downward Spiral.''
[[Trent Reznor]] stated it was "the hardest song to write" for the record in a 1994 interview. "I still don't know if I got it right," he said. "I have such a bad vibe from that song now--from it sucking in so many different ways. That was actually two different songs stuck together."[http://nothing.nin.net/int20.html]
===Ruiner (Version)===
This remix is only available on the UK import (i.e. V2) of ''Further Down The Spiral''. Throughout, there are glitch effects splicing up Reznor's voice. The fast verses, switched in order, are louder and clearer than the studio version. As well, the synthesizer chorus is replaced by a more guitar -driven one.

==Live==
"Ruiner" was performed live on the [[Self-Destruct Tour]] but would be retired until the [[Performance 2007]] tour, when it was played again for the first time in almost 13 years.
