Pretty Hate Machine also known as Halo 02 from Nine Inch Nails is hardly unknown to fans of industrial and other similar. Released at the end of 1989, more precisely on 20 October 1989, through the modest record company TVT Records, Pretty Hate Machine has since become the most successful material ever released by this label, and has gone three times platinum in the US, a performance that hasn’t been matched by any other artist under this label. The performance is greater if we consider that the runner up is Snoop Dogg with one platinum record, an artist enjoying much more promotion than Nine Inch Nails.

 

Well, as I started to explain above how cool Pretty Hate Machine is, I shall continue now by pointing out the most important aspects of this record. Trent Reznor wanted, and has managed to bring in the music of Pretty Hate Machine a tribute to both industrial rock and synth pop, building a bridge between two different but related musical styles.

 

Briefly, Trent Reznor was the right man at the right time. In the late 80s when David Gahan and his Depeche Mode buddies had a certain status after releasing records such as Some Great Reward (1984) or Music for the Masses (1987) and Violator would mark the early 90s for the band while propelling them in a lighter direction, the charismatic Al Jourgensen and his project Ministry launched The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste(1989) and was preparing spiritually for Psalm 69 (1992), Trent Reznor was compiling the record that would bridge the two styles, launching Pretty Hate Machine.

 

In other words, Pretty Hate Machine is an essential record for any listener of industrial rock/metal or electronic music, but can also be an interesting experience for metal listeners that are usually not attracted to such music, it just needs patience.
