Tim Skold

Nearly a year and a half after the release of his comeback album, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1, Marilyn Manson announced Chapter 2 today (June 12th), heralding it with lead single Exit Wound. A seething, glam-spiked goth-rock anthem with pointed lyrics ( Take your picture at the scene of the crime/We got your victim and we ve made up your mind ), the song arrived along with a mostly live music video capturing Manson s current lineup, including recently returned member Tim Skold, in action. Watch and listen above. I am proud to give you the second chapter of One Assassination Under God, Manson commented on socials. This completes my story. I used each stone that was thrown at me to sharpen my edges. I outgrew purgatory and carved these songs into the skin of the world. As you listen I hope it forms a scar that you cannot forget. Like Chapter 1, the sequel features an original Manson painting as its cover art, this one a spooky, high-foreheaded portrait resembling Death in Ingmar Bergman s The 7th Seal (a character later parodied in the Bill Ted movies.) One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 is due out August 14th release via Nuclear Blast Records and available in an array of collectible formats. These include a Revolver-exclusive “Green w/ Black Splatter” vinyl variant, limited to 500. Order yours. Shortly after the album s release, Manson is set to join Rob Zombie on this summer s Freaks on Parade tour, kicking off in Wes Palm Beath on August 20th. Check out the itinerary below.
