Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D (pronounced Year Zero Remixed; also known as Halo 25) is a remix album by Nine Inch Nails that is a companion piece to Year Zero. It was leaked to P2P and torrent sites on November 14, 2007, and released in the US as a digital download and a CD/DVD-ROM on November 20, 2007, in the UK on November 26, 2007, and as a 3-disc vinyl set.
The album contains remixes from artists that Trent Reznor contacted and asked to do remixes, as well as a fan remix. "My Violent Heart - Pirate Robot Midget" is a fan remix that initially appeared at ninremixes.com, but Reznor was so impressed by it that he asked for permission to add it to Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D. Multitracks from each track were released and remix.nin.com was launched for sharing of remixes.
The cover art was posted on NIN.com on August 15, 2007. The titles of the illustrations used for the front and back covers are 'The Scorched Earth' and 'The Poisoned Sky', respectively. The Poisoned Sky is adapted from a photo of the Galp oil refinery in Leça de Palmeira, Matosinhos, Portugal. The Scorched Earth is likely a composite, and may use images from the same refinery. The front cover is similar to that of the Capital G promo.
Although there doesn't seem to be anything hidden in the cover art, a closer look at the inner booklet of the CD/DVD shows the phrase "WE DESERVED BETTER THAN THIS", along with "YOUR GOVERNMENT (Illegible)" and "AIR" scrawled on an abandoned house in a polluted wasteland. It is unknown if these were part of the ARG or led to new websites.
