Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson returns today with the release of his 11th album, WE ARE CHAOS. The 10-track project includes the title track single and features production from Shooter Jennings. It represents his first album since 2017’s Heaven Upside Down.
Although the project was written a year and a half ago, Manson recently told Revolver that the themes relate to 2020 by chance. “It does feel as if it could have been written about now, but it really wasn’t necessarily about anything other than maybe my own mental health, trying to relate with other people about how the world is,” he said. “Right now, it’s [also about] mental health, that’s also a great concern, us being kept indoors for so long can really do work at someone’s emotions and their soul, and test their strength in a lot of ways.”
