Since emerging in the early 1990s, Marilyn Manson has built one of the most recognizable catalogs in industrial rock and alternative metal through releases such as "Portrait Of An American Family" (1994), "Antichrist Superstar" (1996), "Mechanical Animals" (1998), and numerous subsequent studio albums.
Across more than three decades of recording and touring activity, Manson has remained a significant figure in modern rock and metal culture, with albums regularly charting internationally and generating ongoing discussion among audiences and critics alike.
"One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2" continues that recording history while expanding the album cycle introduced through its predecessor.
