"Came Back Haunted" is a single by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, from their eighth studio album, Hesitation Marks. It was the band's first single after signing with Columbia Records.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Music and lyrics
The song contains layered synthesizer parts, rhythmic industrial patterns, and an electronic bassline, which are interrupted by a guitar-driven instrumental break. The song ends with a vocal outro with a chant of the song's title.[6] [7] Gary Graff of Billboard interpreted the song's lyrics as an "acknowledgement of Reznor's absence" and a presumable reference to his experiences in film scoring and How to Destroy Angels.[6]
Release and promotion
The song first leaked online on Brazilian website BCharts,[8] then spreading to other sites and radios. It was later streamed on the band's official SoundCloud account.[2] The audio-only video was also uploaded to Nine Inch Nails' YouTube channel.[9] A radio edit of the song was initially made available, which was edited down to 3:56 in length.[2]
The song was featured in the soundtrack of the video game Gran Turismo 6.
Music video
The music video was released on June 28, 2013, with an epileptic seizure warning.[10] [11] It was directed by David Lynch, with whom Reznor collaborated on Lost Highway.[12] The video runs for 4:17.[13] Photographs taken by Nine Inch Nails collaborator Rob Sheridan during the shooting in Los Angeles were also released on June 27, 2013.[10]
