Mini bio

How it started.

Born Brian Hugh Warner in Canton, Ohio, Manson wrote about music for 25th Parallel before his own band took off. He and guitarist Scott Putesky formed the group in 1989 in South Florida, initially performing as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids.

The breakthrough.

Trent Reznor signed the band to Nothing Records, which released Portrait of an American Family in 1994. Their cover of Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” found a wider audience through MTV. Antichrist Superstar followed in 1996, bringing “The Beautiful People” and “Tourniquet”.

Changing the sound.

Mechanical Animals moved toward glam rock in 1998. Holy Wood followed in 2000, returning to industrial rock with songs including “The Fight Song” and “Disposable Teens”.

Music and images.

His current work pairs music with painting: the One Assassination Under God virtual exhibition presents original visual works, accompanying songs and his audio commentary. Chapter 2, co-written and co-produced with Tyler Bates, arrived in August 2026.
