The shock rocker prepares to ignite the stage once again with a blistering new album and a co-headlining tour with Rob Zombie.

Brace yourselves, metalheads! The notorious Marilyn Manson is set to unleash his latest auditory assault, "One Assassination Under God - Chapter 2," on August 14 through Nuclear Blast Records. Co-produced and co-written with the mastermind Tyler Bates, this album promises to delve deeper into the unsettling realms of Manson's twisted psyche.

The second single, "Front Toward Enemy," has just been dropped on all streaming platforms, giving fans a taste of the darkness that awaits. This follows the initial offering, "Exit Wound," released in June, which showcased a dark amalgamation of cinematic soundscapes, crushing industrial layers, and haunting melodies. It’s clear that Manson is not merely resting on his laurels but is instead pushing the boundaries of his sound.

As if the impending album wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, Manson is gearing up for a late summer co-headlining tour alongside the ever-macabre Rob Zombie. Fans can expect a visceral live experience as Manson's current lineup features the formidable Nick Annis on guitar, the return of bassist Tim Skold, and Piggy D. taking on co-lead guitar duties. This band is poised to create a chaotic symphony on stage that will echo through the ages.

Since his return to the stage on August 2, 2024, Manson has been rampaging through his setlist, marking his first performance since the pandemic. This resurgence follows a tumultuous few years filled with legal battles and allegations that have cast a long shadow over his career. Despite the controversies, Manson maintains that his relationships have always been consensual and continues to fight back against the claims that seek to tarnish his legacy.

For those eager to dive into the darkness, the full tracklist for "One Assassination Under God - Chapter 2" includes tantalizing titles like "Lucifer's Teardrop" and "The Arsonist," promising a journey through the macabre. With the album just days away, prepare to immerse yourself in Manson’s world—where the lines between art and chaos blur, and the shock never really subsides.
