Marilyn Manson has released "Front Toward Enemy", the second single from his forthcoming album "One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2", co-written and co-produced with Tyler Bates. The record, out on 14 August via Nuclear Blast Records, arrives just before Manson embarks on a co-headline tour with Rob Zombie, continuing his return to prominence following a period of legal disputes and touring inactivity.

The nine-track album follows "Exit Wound", its first single released in June, and builds on the sound established by 2024's "One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1". Manson's current touring band features guitarist Nick Annis, returning bassist Tim Skold and Piggy D. on co-lead guitar. The 57-year-old musician, real name Brian Warner, has faced numerous sexual, emotional and physical abuse allegations from several women, including actress Evan Rachel Wood, which he denies; he has countersued some accusers, and several lawsuits against him have been dismissed.
