Review: US rock demon and counter-cultural musical star Marilyn Manson returned with his bold, provocative album on vinyl last year and now it arrives on CD. Known for pushing boundaries across his long career, Manson delivers another dark, gripping collection of industrial rock here that is full of haunting melodies and intense vocals that brim with menace. The album explores themes of power, corruption and rebellion all wrapped in his signature shock value and unique expression. With unsettling lyrics and atmospheric sounds, Manson creates a twisted, dystopian world that pulls listeners deep into his confrontational style and is sure to win over fans old and new once more.

Review: Returning with his redemption attempt follow up to 2020's We Are Chaos, industrial metal shock-rock provocateur Marilyn Manson seeks to skirt the numerous controversies and accusations accrued in the last few years with his most potent musical statement in decades. Signing with Nuclear Blast and enlisting the likes of Chelsea Wolfe collaborator/producer Tyler Bates to helm the project, his 12th full-length One Assassination Under God: Chapter 1 (indicating that more is sure to follow), offers up some of the heaviest and introspective material of his career to date, with cuts such as 'Nod If You Understand' harking back to the unhinged angst of Antichrist Superstar, whereas 'As Sick As The Secrets Within' breathes with the same mercurial synth-gloom as the strongest moments on Mechanical Animals. A cynical attempt to regain fan adoration, or the sound of a tortured artist finally coming to terms with his own demons and attempting to rediscover former glory and prowess, the interpretation is entirely your own to consider.
