MARILYN MANSON Releases New Song 'Raise The Red Flag'
August 16, 2024Marilyn Manson has released another new song,"Raise The Red Flag". The track, which can be streamed below, is the second piece of music to be issued by the shock rocker, following the arrival of"As Sick As The Secrets Within" earlier in the month.
"It's time to beat up the bullies/And wash the bullseye off my back,"Manson sings in"Raise The Red Flag"'s chorus. "My red flag is your white one soaked in blood."
Marilyn performed"As Sick As The Secrets Within" live for the first time during his headlining concert on August 3 at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Manson returned to the stage August 2 for his first live performance since before the pandemic at the kick-off concert ofFIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's summer arena tour. The show at Hershey, Pennsylvania's Hersheypark Stadium markedManson's proper gig since the completion of his fall 2019 headlining tour.
JoiningManson on his current tour is his new touring band, consisting of returning membersTyler Bates on guitar andGil Sharone (ex-THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) on drums, alongside the latest additions,Reba Meyers (CODE ORANGE) on guitar andMatt Montgomery (a.k.a.Piggy D.; ex-ROB ZOMBIE) on bass.
Released on August 3,"As Sick As The Secrets Within", which was recorded and co-produced with collaboratorTyler Bates, markedManson's first release via his new deal withNuclear Blast Records.
The news of a partnership withNuclear Blast came in May, just weeks after rumors suggested thatManson had already completed work on a new album.
Prior to the arrival of"As Sick As The Secrets Within",Marilyn hadn't released new music since his 2020"We Are Chaos" LP.
Manson's 30-date arena/amphitheater tour as the support act forFIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH is slated to wrap up on September 19 in Houston, Texas.
Over the past three years,Manson has been embroiled in a series of court battles and has been accused by several women — most notably"Westworld" starEvan Rachel Wood — of sexual, emotional and physical abuse.
Manson, who has denied all the allegations, has countersued a number of his alleged victims and judges have dismissed several of the abuse lawsuits against him.
The 55-year-old musician, whose real name isBrian Warner, has been off the road since the final August 18, 2019 date on the"Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies" joint tour withRob Zombie.
In 2022,Marilyn confirmed he was dropped by his record label,Loma Vista Recordings, and talent agencyCAA after he was accused of sexual assault.
Manson has consistently denied sexually assaulting or abusing anyone, claiming that his "intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners".
Manson's first release throughConcord imprintLoma Vista was"The Pale Emperor" in 2015.
"We Are Chaos" debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums chart.
