Marilyn Manson New Tracks Previewed
We’ve heard two tracks from Marilyn Manson’s new album, ‘The High End Of Low’. Now we want to tell you all about them! Get your Download tickets!
Marilyn Manson recently gave out all of the details regarding his new album, ‘The High End Of Low’, but we’ve heard two tracks from the record.
Without further delay, here’s our previews of Arm-God-Damn-Mother-Fuckin’-Geddon and The WoW.
Marilyn Manson – Arma-God-Damn-Mother-Fuckin-Geddon
Heavy basslines, a stomping back-beat and a very traditionally Manson glam-chorus are the order of the day. It’s this glam rock tinge that really shines through on the track, nodding to his penchant for decadent 70’s rock but with an old school Manson industrial shade.
Similar to the more Rock Is Dead side of Manson’s work (albeit with a sound that is more sinister than was evident on Mechanical Animals), it doesn’t echo the darkness of Manson’s earlier work but it is of a higher quality than anything he has put out in a long, long while.
It’s great to hear Manson being genuinely defiant again, throwing caution to the wind with the couplet “fuck the goddamn TV and the radio/fuck making hits, I’m taking credit for the death toll”. He may not be as dangerous as he once appeared but it is good to hear Mazza using one of those many middle fingers he was born with once again.
Marilyn Manson – The WoW
Put simply, The WoW is a grinding, NIN-tinged sex anthem. Genuinely filthy and intensely sexy, The Wow sees Manson riding a dirty Twiggy Ramirez bassline in an almost spoken-word style.
Quirky keyboards interject all the way through the track while sexual female groans (occasionally spoken in German) swarm behind the crunching industrial backing track.
The WoW doesn’t have anything in the way of memorable hooks but it is the sort of track that would sound amazing in a goth stripclub…if one existed.
Marilyn Manson will also make ‘We’re From America’ from The High End Of Low available to download later today (March 27th).
Download will take place on June 12th – 14th at Donington and will feature sets from Faith No More, Slipknot, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, The Prodigy, Limp Bizkit, Motley Crue, Marilyn Manson, Korn, ZZ Top, Down, Journey and many, many more.

so in your opinion Terry… are we looking at the resurgence of the old Manson – if so bring it the fuck on :p
Can’t fucking wait.
Loved EMDM, even if noone else did, but this sounds like it’s gonna be more extreme and ‘old-skool’!!
It’s definitely a solid showing. Arma…Geddon is a real grower.
We’ll wait to hear the full record before jumping in but it DEFINITELY seems like this could be an exciting record.
Sounds like a good sign to me then, I have just signed up to get the download link, for We Are From America, sent to my email. Can’t wait to hear it now.
heh… i was a fan up until the last pile of crap he put out… then the dire performance at Download ‘07 however… if this record turns out to be good, my faith shall be restored
there is such a thing as a goth strip club (almost) – you should check out http://www.cagedasylum.com/
We’re from America sounds fuckin’ intense. Got it on constant play… Not a fan of ‘The Wow’.
We’re from America is really, really good. I think the 2 tracks your on about here…aka the ones that were leaked on youtube…might not be finished versions as production sound smuch better on the one you can actually download from his site!
it sounds fucking shit, nothing compared to the old manson we all love. totally disappointed
Its a Good Album, But Still……
I’ll Listen To It Until I Like It?
Might Work =|
