In order to reduce civilian interference
with the mission of the powerful
coalition, certain clarifications must
be brought to the attention of the
conscientious objector.
The Antichrist Superstar (the legend
and its present incarnation) was
engendered in response to increasing world tension. Mr. Marilyn
Manson, one of very few in a position to convey a message of
impending doom, has taken it upon himself to do so, enlisting the
aid of his well-trained associates, namely: Twiggy Ramirez,
Madonna Wayne Gacy, Ginger Fish, and latest incarnate Zim Zum,
to do so.
Just as any institution for a change must metamorphosize frequently
to remain consistent with its dogmam the music of the third coming
of Marilyn Manson, Antichrist Superstar, reflects the many changes
that these visionaries hae undergone. To the dismay of those who
wish to bring a turnabout to the human condition, change has been
stigmatized through association with entropy, disorder, and other
such undesired qualities. This music, having been extracted from
the inner revelations of Mr. Manson using various techniques of
torture and sleep deprivation, is the soundtrack to a transmutation
itself.
This metamorphosis, in particular, operates in accordance with the
natural evolution all things, and must be regarded as a positive
development, rather than something to be feared or misconstrued.
Mr. Manson states, "I try to relate my story, which is somewhat
autobiographical, in the metaphor of a worm that transforms into --
what it believes to be -- a beautiful angel. But that's not exactly how
the world sees it. The world views it as much more of a demon or
devil."
It is this misunderstanding, the confusion of angel for devil, that will
lead to resistance.
"We have combined Hebrew Kabalism, numerology, narcotics, and
computer technology to create a musical ritual to bring about the
apocalypse. Whether it is an armageddon of the subconscious or
destruction of the world as we know it, is up to the listener to
decide."
The antichrist is the perfect villain. To many, so is Mr. Manson: Both
characters elusive, asymmetrical, and dangerously potent; Both
catalysts to the self-examination of American values; Both prophets
of their own tellings, and both legends. With Antichrist Superstar
having come to it's fruition, on the eve of its finest hour, one
question remains: Is Marilyn Manson the antichrist? And the answer
is no. He's a superstar.
So now it's up to you -- conscientious listener, casual observer,
disillusioned skeptic -- to come to your own conclusions. One man's
villain is always another man's hero. Decide for yourself. After all,
it's only a record... or is it?
