Brian Warner, better known to the world as the American Shock Rocker Marilyn Manson, released a new single from The Pale Emperor album yesterday, an album slated for release early next year. You can listen to Deep Six below:
The really interesting thing about Deep Six, is that it is far from awful, it's actually pretty good. Whilst Manson's last effort, Born Villain was an exercise in tedium, singular in its complete lack interesting content, Deep Six seems to mix the style of later works with albums considered amongst his best. If you were to ask me, and maybe you wouldn't, I would call Deep Six The High End of Low meets Mechanical Animals. It will be interesting to see whether Manson can recapture the appeal that made him the poster child for alternative culture in the 90's. I doubt it, but he might still make some decent music.
What are your thoughts?
The Pale Emperor is slated for release on January 19th(UK)/20th(US) through Manson's own "Hell Etc." label.
