The band 's highly visualized concerts earned them a loyal fanbase in the South Florida punk and hardcore music scene , eventually gaining the attention of Nine Inch Nails vocalist Trent Reznor , who signed them to his Nothing Records vanity label . The album was initially produced by Roli Mosimann at Criteria Studios in Miami under the title '' The Manson Family Album '' . However , the band was unhappy with his production , and this material was then re-produced and remixed in various Los Angeles recording studios by Manson and Reznor , along with assistant producers Sean Beavan and Alan Moulder . Parts of the album were re-recorded at Reznor 's home studio at 10050 Cielo Drive , where members of the Manson Family committed the Tate murders in 1969
