Marilyn Manson Biography

Marilyn Manson is the stage name of rock singer Brian Warner, who fronts a long-running band of the same name. As Marilyn Manson, Warner wears androgynous white makeup, long hair, and red or black lipstick for spooky gothic effect while playing “industrial metal” rock. His act mixes satanic images and themes of rebellion and death, though it has never been exactly clear if Manson is a true believer or just pursuing a colorful show-business shtick. The group’s albums have included Portrait of an American Family (1994), Antichrist Superstar (1996), Mechanical Animals (1998), The Golden Age of Grotesque (2003), Eat Me, Drink Me (2007) and The High End of Low (2009).
