Mansinthe is the signature brand of absinthe developed by Marilyn Manson. In contradiction to popular belief Mansinthe does contain wormwood, there is no 'sans wormwood' version. It was in non-consecutive development for two years before it's launch on August 25, 2007. It is a distilled, highly alcoholic, anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the medicinal plant Artemisia absinthium, also called grand wormwood. Like all conventional brands of absinthe, Mansinthe is not bottled with added sugar and is, therefore, classified as a liquor or spirit, and not a liqueur. A standard bottle contains a 66.6% alcohol volume, while the Prototype 35 bottle contains a 68% alcohol volume. ((More...))

Lost & Found is a best of EP by Marilyn Manson, released in Europe on May 5, 2008 by Polydor Records. It contains four songs from the band's first four studio albums, and one from their only live album, The Last Tour on Earth. The album has been critically rejected, as there are no previously unreleased songs, b-sides, rarities or other hard-to-find material that the album title implies. It has also been deemed a "horrible marketing campaign" and a try at cashing in on the reunion of Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez. ((More...))

The Celebritarian Corporation is the name that Marilyn Manson has given to his self proclaimed art movement. Manson has coined a slogan for the movement: "We will sell our shadow to those who stand within it." Manson has said the reason he chose the name "Celebritarian Corporation" was because he believes that it provides "a further irony into what it represents", because the word "Celebritarian" could sound like it is pro-celebrity status.

Mechanical Animals is the third studio album by Marilyn Manson, released on September 15, 1998 by Interscope Records. It is somewhat of a concept album, and the second of a trilogy along with Antichrist Superstar and Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). It spawned four singles ("The Dope Show", "Rock Is Dead", "I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)" and "Coma White"). Unlike Marilyn Manson's previous work, Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals is, on an aesthetic level, far less dark. In both image and music, the album is inspired by 1970s style, Bowie-esque glam rock. ((More...))

Antichrist Superstar (sometimes written as Antichrist Svperstar) is Marilyn Manson's second studio album and was released on October 8, 1996 by Interscope Records. It is somewhat of a concept album, and the first of a trilogy along with Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). It spawned four singles ("The Beautiful People", "Tourniquet", "Man That You Fear" and "Cryptorchid"). The album can be considered a concept album because of the three part storyline, in which an abused and apathetic person (represented by "The Worm") becomes an influential rock star and finally transforms into the powerful "Disintegrator."

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated each year on February 14. It is the most significant and recurring day within Marilyn Manson's music and artwork. It's most obvious references are the song "Valentine's Day", and a painting of the same name. Yet, there are several less obvious references in Manson's art as well. In the past Marilyn Manson has given his fans "gifts" of some form on Valentine's Day. Although not a gift act toward fans in particular, Manson had a new tattoo depicting a spiral heart inked on his left wrist (pictured) as a result of his relationship with current girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood.

"Putting Holes in Happiness" is the second track from the 2007 release Eat Me, Drink Me. Written on his own birthday Manson describes the song as been "a romantic-misogynistic-cannibal-gothic-vampire ballad." Similarly he has described the whole album as been "cannibal, consumption, obsessive, violent-sex, romance – but with an upbeat swing." The song was released as a single on October 26, 2007.
