The latter will be released this week as a free downloadable track on the official website www.

He met Scott Putesky shortly afterward and, after showing him some lyrics and poems he had written, proposed that they form a band together. They were soon joined by keyboardist Perry Pandrea, also known as Zsa Zsa Speck, who shortly left the band after the fourth show. The stage names used by each member were representative of a concept the band considered central: the dichotomy of good and evil, and the existence of both, together, in every whole.

The Spooky Kids' popularity in the area grew quickly, largely because of radio DJ Scott David of WYNX-FM, an early fan who eagerly played songs from the band's demo tapes on the air; and because of the band's highly visual concerts, which drew from performance art and used many shock techniques. It was not uncommon to see onstage naked women nailed to a cross, a child in a cage, or bloody animal body parts; Manson, Berkowitz, and Gein variously performed in women's clothing or bizarre costumes; and, for lack of a professional pyro-technician, they would occasionally set their own stage props on fire.

The band would dramatically contrast these grotesque theatrics with elements drawn from the culture of the members' youth in the s and s: characters from that era's children's television made regular, often somewhat altered, appearances on Marilyn Manson flyers and newsletters, and were frequently sampled in the music.

They continued to perform and release cassettes—shortening their name to Marilyn Manson in —until the summer of , when the band drew the attention of Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, who at the time had just founded his own record label, Nothing Records. Portrait of an American Family: Reznor offered Marilyn Manson a contract with his new label and the opportunity to support Nine Inch Nails on their upcoming headlining tour. The band accepted both offers, and recording sessions for its national debut, Portrait of an American Family, began in July Working with producer Roli Mosimann at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida, the band recorded a selection of new songs along with material from their Spooky Kids repertoire and, by the end of Autumn , had completed the first version of their debut, titled The Manson Family Album.

However, it was not well received. The abrasive sonic 'rawness' that Mosimann's production had brought to such groups as Swans had failed to materialize on The Manson Family Album; Reznor and all the band's members found it flat and lifeless, and poorly representative of Marilyn Manson's dynamic performances.

While reworking the album the band played two shows in South Florida under the name Mrs. Not much is known about the complete lineup, except that Manson performed on the drums, Gacy on keyboard, Berkowitz on guitar, and Jeordie White of Miami thrash metal band Amboog-a-Lard and Jessicka of Jack Off Jill sharing vocal duties.

Gein, who had been hospitalized after an overdose, was not invited. After seven weeks of mixing, remixing, and rerecording, the album — now titled Portrait of an American Family — was ready to be presented to Interscope Records. Even as the first single Get Your Gunn was beginning to receive radio airplay, Gein received a letter declaring his services 'no longer needed' by the band after he overdosed on heroin for the fourth time; he was replaced by White, of Amboog-a-Lard, who undertook the alias Twiggy Ramirez.

In December , Ramirez first performed as the band's new bass player on a week's worth of headline dates through Florida with Jack Off Jill opening. While playing Club 5 in Jacksonville, Manson was accused by the town's Christian Coalition of violating the town's adult entertainment codes. Jack Off Jill singer Jessicka was accused of solicitation and offering to engage in lewdness.

Both singers were arrested and charged with misdemeanors. On the first date of a fourteen-week national tour opening for Nine Inch Nails, Ramirez made his national touring debut. It was during this tour that Manson had the occasion to meet with Church of Satan founder Dr. Anton LaVey. After a cordial meeting, LaVey honored Manson with the title of 'Reverend' — meaning, in the Church of Satan, a person who is revered by the church, and not necessarily one who dedicates his life to preaching the religion to others, as with a priest or minister.

Manson would use this title in album liner notes, citing himself as 'Reverend Marilyn Manson. In March , the band began its first national headlining tour, a two-month outing with Monster Voodoo Machine as support; this would be drummer Sara Lee Lucas' last tour with the band.

Tension between Lucas and Manson had apparently grown as the tour wore on and, on the next-to-last night of the tour, Manson secretly decided to end the show with a flourish: during a performance of Lunchbox, he doused Lucas' drum kit in lighter fluid and set it ablaze — with Lucas still attempting to play on behind it.

Manson apparently forgot that the band had one more date to play. Lucas quit the band after the final gig the next night. Less than two weeks later his replacement, Kenneth Wilson, better known by his stage name Ginger Fish, joined the group. Marilyn Manson was touring again, this time on a bill with Danzig and Korn.

That tour ended in summer , after which the band relocated to the new home of Nothing Studios in New Orleans, Louisiana to begin work on the third single from Portrait of an American Family, Dope Hat. The album's fifteen tracks of covers, remixes, and bizarre sonic experiments also included the band's version of the Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams Are Made of This , which would prove to be Marilyn Manson's first legitimate hit: the video was placed in heavy rotation on MTV in stark contrast with the 'Dope Hat' video, which MTV had banished to late-night airplay only a few months before and the mainstream music press was suddenly clamoring to cover the group.

It was also around this time that the group began to experiment with goth makeup, and more bizarre outfits. A seven-month headlining tour followed, from June through February, during which the band began to debut new material including Irresponsible Hate Anthem, Minute of Decay, Tourniquet, and Smells Like Children an early incarnation of Kinderfeld. Rumors of a new album circulated widely during this time, and were confirmed when the band returned to Nothing's New Orleans studio in early to perform what Manson termed 'a musical ritual designed to bring about the Apocalypse.

The rock opera concept album was recorded at Nothing Studios with Trent Reznor himself acting as executive producer; the process of making the album was reportedly a long and difficult one, highlighted by experiments allegedly involving sleep deprivation and near-constant drug use in an effort to create an environment suited to the album's moody and occasionally violent content.

During this time, antagonism between band members was high, which caused the departure of guitarist and Spooky Kids founding member Daisy Berkowitz. With Berkowitz out of the band, Twiggy Ramirez performed lead guitar for much of the recording of Antichrist Superstar, and the group placed an ad seeking a new guitarist for its upcoming tour; Timothy Linton, auditioned for and was given the position. The album's first single, The Beautiful People, made a fairly major impact on the alternative rock charts, and created enough anticipation for Antichrist Superstar that the album debuted at 3 on the album charts.

The band's frontman was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine who also awarded the band their Best New Artist accolade for I should be on the same scale as the Spice Girls or Michael Jackson. In the United States, however, the band was receiving more attention than ever before, and not all of it was positive.

As the tour was getting underway, the band found itself the target of congressional hearings, led by Senator Joseph Lieberman, to determine the effects, if any, of violent lyrics on young listeners. Lieberman would later go on to refer to Marilyn Manson as 'perhaps the sickest group ever promoted by a mainstream record company'. In addition, nearly every performance on the tour was picketed by religious organizations, pleading with fans to not see the musician who once said 'I think every time people listen to this new album maybe God will be destroyed in their brainwashed minds.

As the year ended, Manson made the announcement of the upcoming publication of his first book, the autobiographical The Long Hard Road Out of Hell; the book was released in February , along with another live document of the world tour, a home video entitled Dead to the World. It also came to light around this time that Antichrist Superstar would be the first installment in a concept album trilogy and that the release of the follow-up was, according to the band, also imminent, accompanied by early rumors of the involvement of Billy Corgan and The Dust Brothers with the as-yet-untitled album.

Mechanical Animals: On September 15, , Marilyn Manson released the second part of his triptych, Mechanical Animals, an album strongly influenced by David Bowie and his album Diamond Dogs. Interscope's promotion of the album was massive, including an enormous billboard of singer Manson as an androgynous extraterrestrial over Times Square, and repeated appearances on MTV and other networks to promote the album and the single The Dope Show; propelled by the success of Antichrist Superstar and by this press push, the album debuted at 1 on the Billboard chart.

The band had recast itself in a new image for this album; Marilyn Manson were now a glam rock outfit, setting aside the bleak darkness of the previous record for a more concealed morbidity and borrowing its visual presentation largely from Bowie, and from Roxy Music and its contemporaries.

By this time, the band had permanently relocated to Los Angeles, and Zim Zum had been replaced by glam-influenced guitarist John Lowery, who joined the band as John 5. After a brief promotional tour, the band set out on the 'Beautiful Monsters Tour' with Hole and Monster Magnet as support. The tour, however, would be a problematic one: on March 1, , the three bands played the first show in Spokane, Washington; by March 14, Hole had left the tour and Manson had broken his ankle, forcing postponements of some shows.

The tour was then renamed the 'Rock is Dead Tour' and both Jack Off Jill and Nashville Pussy were asked to take select remaining opening slots on tour. Less than three weeks after the tour resumed, two students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado killed thirteen people, and then took their own lives; early media reports declared them fans of 'violent' music and video games. Substantial attention was directed at the frontman. On April 28, out of respect for the victims, the band canceled the remaining dates of the tour, and would not reappear in Denver until the Ozzfest.

Holy Wood In the Shadow of the Valley of Death : The latter half of and much of was a period of relative silence for Marilyn Manson. The band spent over a year quietly writing and recording in a studio in Death Valley, with only the single Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes — an outtake from Antichrist Superstar — appearing during that time. Returning to the darker, more abrasive sound of Antichrist Superstar, much of the album's content was written in response to the Columbine massacre. The album's third single, The Nobodies, was directly inspired by the shootings.

Described by the band as the third part of the trilogy begun with Antichrist Superstar and continued in Mechanical Animals, its overarching theme is an exploration of the relationship between death and fame in American culture, and its lyrics and artwork contain many references to John F. The international 'Guns, God and Government Tour' expanded upon the exploration of America's fascination with violence, and with the tour's logo — a rifle and handguns arranged to resemble the Christian cross — Manson made no attempt to conceal what he saw as the source of that fascination.

The band also revealed that within Marilyn Manson's massive concept album trilogy, Holy Wood serves as a prequel to Mechanical Animals and Antichrist Superstar despite the latter two preceding Holy Wood in release date. Each of the three albums contain its own storyline distinct from one other but also linked together abstractly in a fourth larger overarching storyline encompassing all three.

Manson has offered this much in the way of an interpretation: 'Holy Wood is about wanting to fit into a world that didn't want me, and fighting really hard to get there.

The album's deepest elements are idealism and the desire to start a revolution. If you begin with Holy Wood, then Mechanical Animals really talks about how that revolution gets taken away from you and turned into a product, and then Antichrist Superstar is where you're given a choice to decide if you're going to be controlled by the power that you created or if you want to destroy yourself and then start over.

It just becomes a cycle. Now that seems like entertainment to me. In addition to a compilation style concert from the tour songs from multiple individual shows edited to appear as single performance , the DVD includes a short thirty minute film titled 'Death Parade' in the style of an All Access Pass for the tour. Released in Blu-ray on November 17, , it depicts the sixteen song set of the Los Angeles performance in its entirety. The Golden Age of Grotesque: With the 'triptych' of the previous three albums now complete, Marilyn Manson was free to begin a fresh project.

In , Jonathan Davis of Korn invited Marilyn Manson into a studio to record vocals on a track he wrote titled Redeemer. The song, produced by both Jon and Richard Gibbs, was then released on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack.

After finding inspiration in the decadent Swing era of the s, the band recorded The Golden Age of Grotesque that year and the album was released on May 13, Eschewing the lyrical depth and volume of symbolism and hidden meaning of Holy Wood, the new album was relatively straightforward; in an extended metaphor, Manson compares his own often-criticized music to the entartete Kunst banned by the Nazi regime. New member Tim Skold, replacing Twiggy Ramirez, added a new dimension to the band's sound; he brought with him from KMFDM the band's use of heavy industrial beats, influenced by the popular nu-metal sound at the time.

The album debuted at No. Elaborate artwork by Gottfried Helnwein appeared in the band's stage dressing, and the members began appearing both on-stage and off- in designer suits and with fashion superstars.

It was referred to by Manson as his 'farewell' album when earlier that month, coinciding with Trent Reznor leaving New Orleans for the west coast, the Nine Inch Nails website officially announced 'nothing studios: —', suggesting that Nothing Studios was closed.

This later proved to be the end of the associated vanity record label, as well as Manson's business association effectively then shifting the band to a full Interscope contract when Reznor successfully sued co-founder John Malm for fraud and breach of fiduciary duty amongst others.

Former Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna replaced him; after recovering from the accident Fish had been recording and performing with a new band, Martyr Plot, before rejoining Marilyn Manson. Though John 5 denied any hostility towards Marilyn Manson following the announcement of his departure, at the band's appearance on the Rock am Ring music festival in an incident took place between John 5 and Marilyn Manson where Manson kicked and then shoved the guitarist.

John 5 responded with anger, throwing off his guitar mid-song and raising his fists to Manson, before resuming the song. Lest We Forget was certified Gold in Celebritarian Corporation: Beginning in January , and continuing for some months, Marilyn Manson's official website was updated several times, adding new artwork and music, and making obtuse references to The Celebritarian Corporation, an art movement led by the frontman.

Merchandise has since become available featuring logos such as the 'double cross' a variation on the Cross of Lorraine , as well as the slogans 'we will sell our shadow to those who stand within it' and 'do not seek death; seek destruction. This was the first performance since the Against All Gods tour ended in , and the last performance with Madonna Wayne Gacy in the band.

It was then that Manson started talking about his next album co-written with Tim Skold. Released more than four years after The Golden Age of Grotesque, Eat Me, Drink Me marked another drastic change in musical styles that the band has become famous for — opting for a more introspective direction. One remarkable note of the album is that it was written entirely by Manson and Skold in a rented home studio. The album is also the first major label Manson album without Madonna Wayne Gacy Pogo as a listed member, making lead singer Marilyn Manson the only original member since Portrait of an American Family.

Chris Vrenna, who temporarily replaced Ginger Fish on drums during the Against All Gods Tour, replaced Pogo to become the band's full-time keyboardist. Marilyn Manson co-headlined a tour with Slayer in order to promote the album with Bleeding Through as the opening act and Deadly Apples on select dates. He later denied this, stating that it was aimed at people in general who sought to imitate him.

In another interview Manson stated that 'I'm embarrassed to be me because these people are doing a really sad, pitiful, shallow version of what I've done. On January 9, , Marilyn Manson posted a bulletin on MySpace confirming that former bassist Twiggy Ramirez had rejoined the band, resulting in the exit of Tim Skold.

Skold and Manson had apparently began writing new material before the personnel change. Future collaborations with Skold were not ruled out. The High End of Low: The band's seventh full-length studio album began recording sessions following the conclusion of their 'Rape of the World Tour' on March 2, On November 29, , Marilyn Manson fansite 'The Heirophant' reported that the frontman planned to start writing songs for the new record on January or February The actual recording took place at Manson's Hollywood Hills home between November and January 5,
