Marilyn Manson has officially released "Front Toward Enemy" across global streaming platforms. The track serves as the second single from his upcoming album, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 , due August 14 via Nuclear Blast Records. For casual listeners, it's a welcome return to the aggressive industrial metal that defined Manson's mid-'90s peak. For longtime fans, however, today's release feels like long-awaited vindication. To understand why, you have to go back to late 2024. When Manson ended his four-year public silence with One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1 , he also released the highly limited "Raise the Red Flag" maxi-CD. Hidden on that disc was an exclusive B-side titled in all caps: "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY." For more than a year, the song became something of a holy grail among collectors.

Los Angeles brand Enfants Riches Déprimés is currently showcasing their Spring 2024 collection at Maxfield LA, and the event was attended by Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay on April 17th.
On March 16th, Manson posted photos on his social media wearing the Enfants Riches Déprimés brand, which is French for "Depressed Rich Kids". Enfants Riches Déprimés is a Los Angeles and Paris based luxury fashion brand founded in 2012 by the conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy, who has created a French punk streetwear line based on the movements of the late 1970s and Japanese Avant-garde movements of the 1980s.
One of the core precepts of the brand is high price points, with T-shirts ranging on average from $500 to $1,000, and haute couture jackets priced as high as $95,000. ERD consistently utilizes the business model of artificial scarcity. In this regard, all styles are sold on an extremely exclusive basis, and thus in relatively small quantities.
In a 2016 interview with Complex Magazine, Henri Alexander said about his brand that, "The best way for me to explain the brand is elitist, nihilist couture (…) The price point eliminates the masses, and the ideas eliminate the people who I don't want, generally, in it, due to the dark nature."

The juxtaposition of "elitist" and "punk", which normally would be at complete odds with each other, fits well with Marilyn Manson, whose very name and essence is designed with a similar aim.
While at this event, Manson and Lindsay were captured in various photos, and they both shared in their Instagram stories a photo with the founder of the brand Henri Alexander himself.
