Marilyn Manson has released a powerful new single titled ‘Front Toward Enemy.’ The track is taken from his highly anticipated upcoming album One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2, co-produced and co-written with Tyler Bates, set for release on August 14 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Alongside the announcement of the track, Manson shared a brief but striking statement that set the tone for the release.
“What the world needs now is a savaging,” Marilyn Manson wrote in the caption of his announcement.
‘Front Toward Enemy’ arrives as the second single from the album, following the lead single ‘Exit Wound,’ which was released in June 2026.
One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 serves as a direct sequel to the 2024 album One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1. It continues the creative partnership between Manson and longtime collaborator Tyler Bates. The upcoming record features nine tracks in total: ‘Unalive,’ ‘Don’t Answer The Door,’ ‘Front Toward Enemy,’ ‘All The Vilest Things,’ ‘None of the Suns,’ ‘Lucifer’s Teardrop,’ ‘The Arsonist,’ ‘Exit Wound,’ and ‘Enantiomorph.’
The album will be available in multiple formats, including CD, digital, and several colored vinyl editions. A highly limited collector’s vinyl edition titled The Claymore is also set for a separate release on September 18, 2026. Limited to just 1,800 copies worldwide, the edition takes its name from the Claymore anti-personnel mine. The mine’s iconic inscription ‘Front Toward Enemy’ inspired both the song title and the aesthetic of the special release.
The album’s arrival comes just ahead of Manson’s late-summer co-headlining tour with Rob Zombie. The coming months mark a significant period for the artist as he returns to both the studio and the stage in full force.
