Los Angeles, CA...Today Marilyn Manson's eighth full-length album Born Villain debuts at #10 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, sandwiched right there between the TV songs of The Music of Smash and Hollywood Blockbuster movie album Avengers Assemble.

His first album for Cooking Vinyl, Born Villain also grabs the #1 spot on the Heavy Album Chart and #1 on the Independent Album Chart.

"If I were to go on Match.com and I was doing some sort of, oh, would you like to know me? situation, this record would represent me," Manson told CNN.

"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."

"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"

"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."
