The 1990 single "Sin" showcases Nine Inch Nails' early industrial sound, featuring a darker, more aggressive tone than much of Pretty Hate Machine. It stands as a raw, potent preview of the band's trajectory.
- "Sin" was released as a single on October 10, 1990, by The Bicycle Music Company.
- The single preceded the release of the band's debut full-length album, Pretty Hate Machine, by one month.
- The track is a precursor to the sound that would bring Nine Inch Nails mainstream attention.
Nine Inch Nails is the industrial rock project of Trent Reznor, originating in Cleveland in the late 1980s. In 1990, Reznor was gaining recognition for his uncompromising sound and aesthetic, preparing to release his debut album Pretty Hate Machine.
