Earlier this year, Five Finger Death Punch announced a tour that would feature shock rocker Marilyn Manson as support. FFDP guitarist Zoltan Bathory said Manson has been “sober and clean” following numerous legal battles alleging his abuse of women. Manson countersued in some cases and several other lawsuits against him were dismissed.
“If you’re struggling, man, don’t give up,” Bathory said comparing Manson’s recovery to that of his brother as well as FFDP singer Ivan Moody. “You can come back from that. And Manson is sober and he’s staying clean and doing the work, so also we’re supporting that. So it’s gonna be an amazing tour.”
It had been previously reported that Manson has a new album ready to go, and the goth-rock icon released a teaser video on Wednesday with the caption “NB x MM” highlighting that his new record will be on Nuclear Blast Records.
Manson’s last album was 2020’s “We Are Chaos.” He had been previously dropped by his label, Loma Vista Recordings, and also his talent agency CAA after he was accused of assault. Manson has consistently denied the allegations against him, and it remains to be seen if rock and metal fans will embrace his full-on return.
Manson’s teaser clip can be viewed below.
