Marilyn Manson continues to upend the mainstream with each new release, and his latest album, 'Born Villain', has taken things a little bit further.
Speaking about the new record, Manson says: "The new record put simply has the ambition and determination of how I started making music in the first place. It sounds like the first record in that it's not afraid to do anything. I had to remove myself from my lifestyle and start fresh.”
"It doesn't really sound like any of my old records. In fact it sort of sounds like what I listened to before I made records — Killing Joke, Joy Division, Revolting Cocks, Bauhaus, Birthday Party…It's very rhythm-driven. I think this will probably be the grandest concept record of all."

The tumultuous relationship Marilyn Manson has cultivated with the public through his genre-defying music and anti-status quo message of thinking for oneself has resulted in sold-out tours, protests, legal battles, adoration, hate, more than 50 million records sales, award-winning distilled spirits, several Grammy nominations and, most importantly, a long list of some of the most enduring and powerful singles ever, such as 'Lunchbox,' 'Get Your Gunn' 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),' 'The Beautiful People,' 'Antichrist Superstar,' 'Tourniquet,' 'The Dope Show,' 'I Don’t Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me),' 'The Fight Song,' 'Mobscene,' 'Heart-Shaped Glasses,' 'Coma White' and 'If I Was Your Vampire.'
Marilyn Manson released the album's lead single 'No Reflection' in the UK and Europe on the 21st April 2012. Check out the video below.
