Marilyn Manson

About this product

Portrait of an American Family is Marilyn Manson's debut album: a hardcore industrial metal outing produced by Nine Inch Nails mastermind and Manson mentor, Trent Reznor. The band signed to his label and arguably got their breakthrough moment courtesy of NIN's inaugural 1994-1995 arena tour.

A hint at what was still to come, Manson's Portrait of an American Family is a rollicking ride through both gritty and camp influences: Last Tango In Paris, John Waters, Charles Manson, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Chitty, Chitty Bang Bang - the song titles speak volumes: 'Get Your Gunn', 'Cake and Sodomy', 'Snake Eyes and Sissies'...
