Nine Inch Nails – Down In It (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1989

“Down in It” is the debut single by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, released on September 15, 1989. Taken from the band’s debut album Pretty Hate Machine, it was the first song ever written by frontman Trent Reznor.

The song’s outro contains lyrics referencing the nursery rhyme “Rain Rain Go Away”. In 2010, Reznor admitted that the song was his attempt to make a rip-off of the Skinny Puppy song “Dig It” from the 1986 album Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse.

The first track on the single edition, “Down in It (Skin)”, is the mix found on Pretty Hate Machine. The cover art is very similar to Joy Division’s first album Unknown Pleasures, with Joy Division always being cited as an influence by Reznor, and Nine Inch Nails later covered the Joy Division song “Dead Souls” on the soundtrack to the 1994 film The Crow.

Around the time of the single’s release, the band lip-synced a performance of the song on the dance music show Dance Party USA. The footage, originally thought to be lost, was rediscovered in 2012 and went viral after being uploaded to YouTube. Reznor responded to the video on his Twitter account, stating that the band had decided to appear on the show after deciding it was “the most absurd choice [they] could come up with at the time” for a television program on which they would be interested in performing, but were surprised when they were actually booked to appear on the program.
