The twist? The band doesn’t get to pick the song; Musora chooses it, often throwing musicians way outside their comfort zone.

The track’s visuals were directed by vocalist Sky Sweetnam, who also shared the meaning behind the song.

Marilyn Manson’s recent return to Mexico sparked controversy, but the shock rocker still took the stage at the Teatro del Pueblo in San Luis Potosí on August 10th, performing as part of the city’s annual state fair. The free concert faced criticism from local religious and conservative groups, who opposed Manson’s involvement due to the family-friendly nature of the event and the singer’s controversial reputation. Reports indicate supporters of Manson also left a severed cow’s head in front of a local cathedral, seemingly in response to protest efforts. Governor Ricardo Gallardo Cardona defended the performance, framing it as a “defense…
