There is a point in One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 where the language of survival finally becomes the language of retaliation. “The Arsonist” is that point. The song is not simply about having survived an attempt to destroy you. It is about what happens afterward, when the person who has been burned decides that the fire did not finish him and that the scars it left behind have become part of his strength. Manson himself described the song as the moment when the narrative of the two chapters “crystallizes into a battle stance,” and, referring to the painting he created for it, said that the “burned scar tissue” had formed into armor.

The Potosina National Fair, known as La FENAPO, is one of the largest and most important fairs of San Luis Potosí and one of the most important throughout Mexico. Last year this event was internationalized, and the diversification of artists and bands, with free presentations, boosted the growth of regional tourism. Governor Ricardo Gallardo is seeking to repeat this in 2024, by inviting a line up of bands at the Teatro de Pueblo.
