Marilyn Manson - Heaven Upside Down

Heaven Upside Down is the tenth studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson, released in October 2017 via Lorna Vista Recordings.

Marilyn Manson is an American industrial metal band formed by singer Marilyn Manson and guitarist Daisy Berkowitz in Florida, in 1989. The current line-up is Marilyn Manson (lead singer and the only remaining original member), Twiggy Ramirez (bass), Paul Wiley (guitars), Tyler Bates (guitars, production, instrumentation) and Gil Sharone (drums). So far Manson, Bates, and Sharone contribute to the albums with Ramirez and Wiley contributing to the live shows.

The ten tracks on Heaven Upside Down were recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Tyler Bates who produced their critically acclaimed album The Pale Emperor (2015). The songs on the album create a cinematic sonic palate that harkens back to the ferocity of seminal Manson albums Portrait of an American Family (1994) and Holy Wood (2000).

Themes of violence, sex, politics and romance slice through Heaven Upside Down. Manson asks his fans to brutally pledge their devotion on “Kill4Me” and delves into new genres with a trap beat on the track “Say10” as he proclaims “I’m a legend, I’m not a fable.” The lead single “We Know Where You Fucking Live” trolls the dark frenetic territory that made Manson a God-like figure to so many.

Manson's sensationalist music and art that rejects conservative values, created an icon who has infiltrated fashion, television, film and music, and whose fingerprints coat modern culture. Twenty years into their career, Manson is still a lightning rod of controversy and the pageantry and debauchery of his life are perfectly intact.

The album debuted at #8 on the US Billboard 200 Albums chart and has reached #4 in Australia and #7 in the UK Albums charts.

Check out the tracks:  “We Know Where You Fucking Live”; “Kill4Me”; “Say10” and “Heaven Upside Down”.
