Marilyn Manson has given fans another fight song.
Today (July 17th), the controversy-stirring shock-rocker released “Front Toward Enemy,” the second official preview of his forthcoming One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2. [Edit: As readers have pointed out, the song had previously been issued on the limited edition CD single for “Raise the Red Flag” in 2025 before arriving on streamers today)
The song comes off the heels of “Exit Wound”, and near-immediately lunges into a punchy metal riff and Manson’s bruising rally cry (“Get up and fight”). The song slinks into weaponized verses about rulebreakers and fakers, while other parts of the song reflect how Manson will keep puttin’ up his dukes “til [his] bruisеs are black and [his] face is swollen.”
The battle anthem also suggests that “what the world needs now is a savaging”. You can give the track a fighting chance by streaming it up above.
As previously reported, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 is out August 14th via Nuclear Blast Records. You can pre-order the CD edition and a Revolver-exclusive “Green w/ Black Splatter” 12-inch vinyl variant (limited to 500 copies) in our shop.
Manson is currently wrapping up a leg of European dates before launching his “Freaks on Parade” North American tour with Rob Zombie in August. You’ll find Manson’s global tour schedule here.
