Marilyn Manson has officially turned the page and delivered the second volume of his One Assassination Under God series. Following a couple industrially-pounded previews, the infamous shock rocker’s long-awaited and much-anticipated Chapter 2 hit stores and streamers today (August 14th).
As previously reported, Manson first poured out the record’s “Exit Wound” single in June — initially described by Revolver as “a brooding fracas of slinky hi-hat grooves and see-sawing industrial riffage,” the song ended up topping our Fan Poll for the best songs of 2026 so far.
The record’s second single was “Front Toward Enemy,” though the menace-intensified fight song had actually popped up during the promo cycle for 2024’s Assassination Under God – Chapter 1, as a CD-only B-side to that album’s “Raise the Red Flag.” Manson recently unveiled a symbolism-loaded music video that found him rocking the song with a couple of goth mini-clones.
As of right now, you can finally gorge on the rest of Manson’s 13th full-length release, including gothically slow-stomped enemy-maker “Unalive” and the coldwave-chilly “Lucifer’s Teardrop.” Like Chapter 1, it was produced with longtime collaborator and acclaimed score composer Tyler Bates.
You can stream the album in full up above. One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 is out now via Nuclear Blast. Both CD edition and vinyl editions are up for sale in Revolver’s shop.
Manson launches his co-headlining “Freaks on Parade” North American tour with Rob Zombie later this month. You’ll find the tour schedule here.
In related news, Manson also recently popped up on Billy Morrison’s Hollow album, contributing angst-racked vocals to a brooding piece called “The Tailor.”
