We Are Chaos, which arrives September 11th via Lorna Vista Recordings, was produced by Shooter Jennings. The release is a long-time coming, as MANSON had originally hoped to put out the album last year.

Musically, the title track is powered by an acoustic guitar riff, as the song is both melodic and heavy at the same time. There’s almost a pop quality to the song, but the macabre nature of the lyrics and vocals still make it very much a MARILYN MANSON tune, as he sings, “We are sick/ F**ked up and complicated/ We are chaos/ We can’t be cured.”

 

 

The song is accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by Matt Mahurin, who has helmed videos for METALLICA, ALICE IN CHAINS, SOUNDGARDEN, U2, and many more.

 

The album’s striking cover artwork is a self-portrait painting by MANSON that he dubbed “Infinite Darkness”.
