Marilyn Manson

'The Pale Emperor' (album stream)

BY Alex HudsonPublished Jan 12, 2015

Get ready to freak your parents out, because Marilyn Manson's new album is available to stream in full. The Pale Emperor is out on January 20 through Hell Etc./Cooking Vinyl/Dine Alone Records, and it can be heard ahead of time.

While The Pale Emperor is a characteristically unsettling offering from the shock-rock king, it also finds Manson venturing outside of his metal-inclined wheelhouse. Opener "Killing Strangers" has bluesy licks and a slow stomp-clap groove, "Deep Six" and "Third Day of a Seven Day Binge" each display a danceable post-punk pulse, and "Cupid Carries a Gun" contains some acoustic passages.

Of course, there are also plenty of ultra-heavy guitars to please the headbangers out there. Take a listen to it all down below [via Metal Hammer].
