Marilyn Manson debuted the second single off his upcoming eleventh studio album, We Are Chaos, which will be released on September 11th. The new track “Don’t Chase The Dead” can be heard below.
We Are Chaos was produced by Grammy Award winner Shooter Jennings and Manson, while Manson’s painting Infinite Darkness was specifically created to accompany the music and is used for the album cover. His fine art paintings are shown all over the world, including gallery and museum exhibitions from Miami to Vienna to Moscow.
Manson released the title track off his forthcoming album in July. “We Are Chaos” can be heard below. Manson said the album was recorded to its completion without anyone hearing it until it was finished and that there is most definitely a side A and side B in the traditional sense. But just like an LP, it is a flat circle and it’s up to the listener to put the last piece of the puzzle into the picture of songs.
“This concept album is the mirror Shooter and I built for the listener – it’s the one we won’t stare into. There are so many rooms, closets, safes and drawers. But in the soul or your museum of memories, the worst are always the mirrors. Shards and slivers of ghosts haunted my hands when I wrote most of these lyrics.”
Making this record, I had to think to myself: ‘Tame your crazy, stitch your suit. And try to pretend that you are not an animal’ but I knew that mankind is the worst of them all. Making mercy is like making murder. Tears are the human body’s largest export.”
