To celebrate the announcement, Manson has unleashed the album's first single and music video, "Exit Wound," offering fans an intense glimpse into the record's haunting atmosphere and sonic direction. Co-produced and co-written alongside longtime collaborator Tyler Bates, the track blends crushing industrial elements, cinematic textures, and unsettling melodic tension, further expanding the sound that defined the first chapter.
The new album arrives just days before Manson embarks on a major late-summer co-headlining tour with fellow shock rock legend Rob Zombie, making 2026 a landmark year for fans of dark and theatrical heavy music.
Manson's current touring lineup features guitarist Nick Annis, bassist Tim Skold, and guitarist Piggy D., creating a formidable live band that has helped bring the new material to audiences worldwide.
The announcement follows the success of One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1 , released in November 2024 through Nuclear Blast Records. That album marked Manson's return to the spotlight with standout tracks including "Sacrilegious," "Raise The Red Flag," and "As Sick As The Secrets Within," earning praise from fans and critics alike.
Since returning to the stage in 2024, Manson has maintained a busy touring schedule while steadily building anticipation for the next phase of his musical evolution. With the release of "Exit Wound" and the unveiling of One Assassination Under God - Chapter 2 , fans now have their first taste of what promises to be another dark, ambitious, and uncompromising chapter in the Marilyn Manson legacy.
Watch the new music video for "Exit Wound" and prepare for the arrival of One Assassination Under God - Chapter 2 on August 14.
