Although allegations of sexual assault still hang over his head, Marilyn Manson is attempting to move forward with his career.
A video clip of what appears to be a new Manson track was shared on the shock-rocker's Instagram and the account of label Nuclear Blast Records. Music Times has reached out to Nuclear Blast for confirmation.
Manson's last album, We Are Chaos, was released in 2020. It remains to be seen if he's prepping a full album or just a single.
In the last few years, Manson has been in the news more for sexual assault allegations than his music. It began in 2021, when his ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood accused the "Dope Show" singer of sexual abuse.
Following Wood's accusations, more than a dozen other women made similar claims against the shock-rocker, whose real name is Brian Warner.
Although Manson has settled some of the lawsuits filed against him, he has suits that are still active, including one filed by his former assistant Ashley Walters, who told Rolling Stone in 2021 that Manson would "offer her up" to his friends. That case is set for June 2025 -- it was brought back on appeal after it was initially dismissed.
A lawsuit filed against Manson for sexual assault of a minor has yet to be resolved. In addition, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department completed a criminal investigation into Manson that was delivered to the district attorney in 2022, but no charges related to that probe have been announced.
After the allegations of sexual assault began to surface, several of his business partners cut ties with Manson, including his former label, Loma Vista, manager Tony Ciulla and his booking agent at CAA.
Manson is also returning to the concert circuit. He's been tapped to open for Five Finger Death Punch's North American tour in August and September and has some headlining dates planned.
