Each album and individual Manson release is a telling milestone in its own right, whether featured here or not.

With ten albums comprehensively bridging half the history of truly heavy metal, a retrospective like this feels as much like a review of the shifting sensibilities and fads of our scene as that of any one artist. Rarely has a provocateur delivered his blend of controversy, household-name recognisability and sheer endurance. Incepted as frightening pop culture curio following in the wake of Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, surrounded by outlandish rumours (Removed ribs! Amputated nipples! Child acting roles in The Wonder Years!), Manson evolved through a period of arena-rock ubiquity to his current position as gothic elder statesman. Watch the video below, and revisit our recent interview with Manson.For over three decades now, Brian Hugh Warner – renamed Marilyn Manson after a self-destructive superstar and a cult leader – has been the singer, songwriter, visual artist, actor, producer and erstwhile music journalist at the forefront of contemporary shock-rock.

Speaking to The Daily Beast, he said that the video was for the viewer to interpret, saying “as an artist my duty is to as the questions. It’s maybe a surprising video from Manson, who has said he’d be sitting out this election. The clip finishes with Manson standing before Trump’s corpse holding a head of blonde hair.

In the chorus Manson shouts, “you say god and I say SAY10”.

The clip, directed by Tyler Shields, is complimented with Manson’s eerie delivery of “cash is the poor man’s money”. In a preview of his forthcoming video for “SAY10”, Manson sits in a dark room holding the bible before a knife flicks and the clip cuts to some shots of a decapitated Donald Trump. Or at least, an orange-skinned, red tie-wearing guy who looks like he could be Trump. Marilyn Manson is famed for his boundary-pushing music and controversial stage shows, and his newest music video is an eyebrow-raiser that lands bang in the middle of the US election.
