'''''The Downward Spiral''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|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|remixes]] from ''The Downward Spiral'' was released as ''[[Further Down The Spiral]]'' on June 1, 1995.
==Track List==
#"Heresy" (Demo) - 4:00
The original Japanese release includes "Dead Souls" between "Big Man With A Gun" and "A Warm Place"."
The double vinyl release splits sides between "March Of The Pigs" and "Closer", "The Becoming" and "I Do Not Want This", and "Eraser" and "Reptile". Rather than completely separating the songs, the transitions are retained: "The Becoming" still contains the intro of "I Do Not Want This", but fades out; the introduction of "Reptile" is tagged onto the end of "Eraser".
