Star Wars already has a pale emperor, and now music has one, too. Marilyn Manson today (Nov. 10) announced that his new studio album will be titled just that, and will hit stores on Jan. 20.
The Pale Emperor features ten songs, including the brooding “Third Day Of A Seven Day Binge,” which features lyrics like, “I’d rather be your victim than be with you.” He shared it back on Oct. 27, teasing plans for the new LP. Check out the song below:
Manson played handful of southern California shows in October and earlier this month, where he premiered two other Pale Emperor songs: “Cupid Carries a Gun” and “Deep Six.”
