Marilyn Manson

Prophet of Celebritarianism, the study of postmodern idolatry of celebrity martyrdom.

Everything else Marilyn Manson has done is secondary to this message.

Dark Carnival

Christian metaphor designed by ICP's handlers as an excuse to justify their stupidity to parental watchdog groups that would otherwise ban their music and put a halt to their careers.

Handler 1: These shock-rockers are being blasted out of the charts by right-wing censorship groups. How can we put a stop to it?
Handler 2: I know! Let's tell them to pretend there's a religious message in their music! We'll call it the Dark Carnival - because you have to keep it 'mysterious' to keep the rebellious teenagers attracted to it!
