Marilyn Manson - Born Villain
Marilyn Manson continues to upend the mainstream
with each new release, and his upcoming album Born Villain is about to
take that a bit further on April 27th, 2012. Evidence #1, the single,
“No Reflection”...
KROQ debuted “No Reflection” yesterday and the
lead single will be available exclusively on iTunes this Tuesday, March
13th. Blabbermouth was first to catch the premiere, reporting that the
song’s chugging, faint-friendly distortion offers plenty of sonic waves
for Manson to glide over reminiscent of glory-era Ministry.
"The new record put simply has the ambition and
determination of how I started making music in the first place," Manson
says. "It sounds like the first record in that it's not afraid to do
anything. I had to remove myself from my lifestyle and start fresh.”
"It doesn't really sound like any of my old records," Manson says in an
upcoming Revolver magazine cover story. "In fact it sort of sounds like
what I listened to before I made records — Killing Joke, Joy Division,
Revolting Cocks, Bauhaus, Birthday Party...It's very rhythm-driven. I
think this will probably be the grandest concept record of all."
The tumultuous relationship Marilyn Manson has cultivated with the
public through his genre-defying music and anti-status quo message of
thinking for oneself has resulted in sold-out tours, protests, legal
battles, adoration, hate, more than 50 million records sales,
award-winning distilled spirits, several Grammy nominations and, most
importantly, a long list of some of the most enduring and powerful
singles ever, such as “Lunchbox,” “Get Your Gunn” “Sweet Dreams (Are
Made of This)” “The Beautiful People,” “Antichrist Superstar,”
“Tourniquet,” “The Dope Show,” “I Don’t Like the Drugs (But the Drugs
Like Me),” “The Fight Song,” “Mobscene “Heart-Shaped Glasses,” “Coma
White” and “If I Was Your Vampire.”
Born Villain will be released on Cooking Vinyl through Shock
Entertainment and Manson's own label Hell, Etc. Marilyn Manson has had
astounding success across the globe including three albums being
certified platinum and three more certified gold in the USA, in
addition to three top ten albums and two number-one albums (Mechanical
Animals and The Golden Age of Grotesque).
