Product Description

The latest volley in industrial music's invasion of the mainstream, shock-rock band Marilyn Manson revels in the perverse, the unpleasant and the grotesque, championing hate, alienation and negativity with the same fervour with which happy-face troubadours of the '70s promoted sunshine, peace and happiness. The band's music owes a great deal to labelmates Nine Inch Nails, incorporating processed vocals, screeching electronics and enough bad attitude to bring even Norman Vincent Peale down. But rather than follow Trent Reznor down thepath of sonic experimentation, Marilyn Manson establishes an unrelenting, grungy, guitar-driven attack that makes Ministry and The Butthole Surfers sound "unplugged".
ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR is not an album for everyone. It is the aural equivalent of root canal without novocaine. Marilyn Manson creates a harsh, nightmarish soundscape to symbolise all that is evil and corrupt in contemporary society. There can be no such thing as a casual listen to ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR's 16 scabrous tracks, and no listener will come away unscathed.

Customer Reviews

Nihilistic Heaven ( nevertoolate #007 )
Any serious critique of the history of Grand Guignol must
surely take the mind of Mr Manson into account.
1996' 'Antichrist Superstar' digs around in some very dark
places indeed and this from a man used to digging darkly.

Decay, madness, dissolution, gristle and blood and bone.
Polymorphous perversity by the bucket load.

And what jolly good fun it is too !

Mr Manson, both with his music and personae creates a healthy balance,
a veritable antidote, in holding up a mirror to the hypocritical,
slimy, white underbelly of New American Puritanism.

This splendid music has a coherence sometimes absent from his work
both pre and post 'Antichrist'. The neural assault is heartily sustained
from the first note until the last. Don't expect any respite.
Enormous credit is due here to the estimable Mr Reznor's production duties,
aptly and ably recorded at home in his New Orleans funeral parlour studio.

'Dried Up, Tied Up And Dead To The World'; 'Tourniquet'; 'Cryptorchid';
'The Reflecting God'; a few among many delights on this near-perfect album.
The delicious 'Deformography' (Just loving that title) a personal favorite.

I have heard it said that in 'Real Life' Mr. Manson is a veritable pussy cat.
Each of us may need to ask none-the-less whether or not we could
trust this man with our own basket of kittens.

A thrilling nihilistic necessity.

God Is Dead After All.

A metal classic.
This is an essentail Manson album but not for new fans who should get Lest We Forget with the bonus DVD but it still rocks. It has metal tracks like Irresponsible Hate Anthem, The Beautiful People which is amazing, Angel With The Scabbed wings, The Reflecting God, and many more. Also the incredibley creepy Cryptochid and track 99 and some other killers like Antichrist Superstar although that sounds much better live. If anyone thinks there metal collection is complete without this then think again.
It is amazing.

Trent rezners protoge staggers forward
This is possibly the weakest of MM's albums, it suffers from trent rezners vision clashing with marilyn mansons nature.
Irresponsible hate anthem wears its heart on its sleeves, and is more NIN the marilyn manson. Its tourniquet and the like that stand out, but like NINs the fragile it is hard to listen to but strangly rewarding.
