<div style="text-indent:36pt;">Los Angeles, CA…Marilyn Manson continues to upend the mainstream with each new release, and his upcoming album <b><u>Born Villain</u></b> is about to take that a bit further on May 1, 2012. Evidence #1, the single, “<b>No Reflection</b>”:
<a href="http://bit.ly/mansonnoreflectionsoundcloud"><font size="4" color="blue"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><u>http://bit.ly/mansonnoreflectionsoundcloud</u></span></font></a></div>
<div style="text-indent:36pt;margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;">KROQ debuted “No Reflection” yesterday and the lead single will be available exclusively on iTunes this Tuesday, March 13. <i>Blabbermouth</i> was first to catch the premiere, reporting that the
song’s chugging, faint-friendly distortion offers plenty of sonic waves for <b>Manson</b> to glide over reminiscent of glory-era Ministry. </div>
<div style="text-indent:36pt;margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;">"The new record put simply has the ambition and determination of how I started making music in the first place," <b>Manson</b> 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.”</div>
<div style="text-indent:36pt;">"It doesn't really sound like any of my old records," <b>Manson</b> says in an upcoming <u>Revolver</u> 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."</div>
<div style="text-indent:36pt;"> </div>
<div style="text-indent:36pt;">The tumultuous relationship <b>Marilyn Manson</b> 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.” </div>
<div> </div>
<div style="text-indent:36pt;"><b><u>Born Villain</u></b><u> </u>will be released on Cooking Vinyl/Downtown Records and Manson's own label Hell, Etc. <font size="1" color="blue"><span style="font-size:8pt;"><u><sup> </sup></u></span></font><b>Marilyn Manson</b>
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 (<u>Mechanical Animals</u> and <u>The Golden Age of Grotesque</u>).
Leading up to the release of <b><u>Born Villain</u></b>, <b>Marilyn Manson</b> will be touring the United States for the first time since 2009. The first set of confirmed dates for the upcoming <b>Hey Cruel World…</b> tour are below. He kicks it off by headlining
the Revolver “Golden Gods Awards” on April 11<font size="1"><span style="font-size:8pt;"><sup>th</sup></span></font> at Club Nokia in Los Angeles <b>–</b> his first U.S. performance in nearly <i>three </i>years. </div>
