Los Angeles, CA...Today Marilyn Manson releases his highly-anticipated new album Born Villain, his first in three years. Already Born Villain hit #1 on the iTunes rock chart and #4 on the album chart http://bit.ly/IkoVbb.
"Indeed, Born Villain is Manson's return to form: A hard-rocking album, brimming with rich imagery, visceral blowback and the glamour-meets-gutter eroticism that his best work evokes" says CNN, while The Independent states "The eighth Marilyn Manson album features some of his finest lyrics yet and, musically, it often approaches the heyday of Holy Wood and Mechanical Animals."
Artist Direct is bit more, well, direct: "From top to bottom, it's Manson's most vicious and vibrant effort since Antichrist Superstar. Make no mistake about it; this is Manson at his best. Elegantly, he slices throats and puts up a middle finger to everyone once more."

 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."
 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). Marilyn Manson recently kicked off his first US tour in three years headlining the Revolver "Golden Gods Awards" on April 11th at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.

"It's Manson's most vicious and heavy album in years"
[cid:image007.jpg at 01CD27A2.B98356B0]

"Manson and his band sounded great, and hit their unique combination of raw metal and gut-wrenching pathos like they'd never been gone"
[cid:image008.jpg at 01CD27A2.B98356B0]

"It's been three years since Marilyn Manson's last album, but he's lost no edge. In fact, he's sharpened it."
[cid:image009.jpg at 01CD27A2.B98356B0]

""Born Villain" finds a seemingly refreshed and clear-minded Manson and his band poring through a diverse set of moods and styles in songs that cut a little deeper than the deliberate provocation of many of his previous works...He's not just, as the song says, "Breaking the Same Old Ground.""

"The eighth Marilyn Manson album features some of his finest lyrics yet and, musically, it often approaches the heyday of Holy Wood and Mechanical Animals"
[cid:image011.jpg at 01CD27A2.B98356B0]

"Marilyn Manson didn't necessarily need to wage a comeback, but if that's what fuels his creative fire, it's definitely working."
[cid:image012.jpg at 01CD27A2.B98356B0]

"Could easily be considered one of Manson's best productions to date"
