"Into the Fire" is the fourteenth track from Marilyn Manson's 2009 release The High End of Low. Its title was revealed on April 16, 2009, in an update on the band's official website. Despite its slow, melancholic sound, "Into the Fire" is one of the more optimistic songs in Marilyn Manson's catalogue, discouraging being influenced by those who "want to hit bottom."
Music details
Into The Fire's tone with heavy use of piano and strings finds many to believe this to have more than a slight resemblance to brit band Oasis. Reviewing for The Quietus, John Robb described the song as "Another dramatic neo-ballad" which "rolls in with piano and, gasp! an orchestra." He also cited it as "like Manson's 'Imagine' but it doesn't lull you into a false sense of security- there are still billowing clouds of gloom, and it all sounds as if it should be shoehorned into the next Tim Burton gothic horror masterpiece. There is something quite 70s about the song - possibly a hint of the great Mott the Hoople when Ian Hunter sung his ace weary ballads."[1] The song features a lengthy guitar solo at the end, quite unusual for a Marilyn Manson track. Manson noted that on track 14, this track, "Twiggy really shines as a guitarist."
