American shock‑industrial icon Marilyn Manson has released “Front Toward Enemy”, the second single and accompanying video from his forthcoming album One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2. The record, co‑written and co‑produced with long‑time collaborator Tyler Bates, is set for release on 14 August via Nuclear Blast Records.
“Front Toward Enemy” deepens the sonic and conceptual world established on Chapter 1, pushing Manson’s modern era further into cinematic unease, serrated industrial weight, and brooding melodic tension. The track feels like a continuation and escalation — a descent into a darker chamber of the same universe, where mechanical pulse and emotional abrasion collide.
The new video, directed by Henri Alexander Levy, mirrors the track’s atmosphere with stark imagery and ritualistic visual language. It can be viewed below. Manson previously unveiled the single “Exit Wound”, whose video is available as well below.
Following the album’s release, Marilyn Manson will join Rob Zombie for a co‑headlining North American tour throughout August and September, bringing this new chapter to the stage with full force. Tour dates can be found at the link below. Link
