One Assassination Under God, Chapter 2
One Assassination Under God, Chapter 2 is the thirteenth studio album by Marilyn Manson, released on 14 August 2026 through Nuclear Blast Records. It follows Chapter 1 from 2024 and continues a run that stretches back to Portrait of an American Family in 1994.
Manson wrote the record and co-produced it with multi-instrumentalist Tyler Bates. Three singles lead the way: "Exit Wound" arrived on 12 June, "Front Toward Enemy" on 17 July and "Unalive" on the day the album came out. For anyone following the second half of this two-part story, it is the natural next stop. A co-headlining Freaks on Parade Tour with Rob Zombie takes it to North American arenas and amphitheatres from August 2026.
