It had to happen. Marilyn Manson and Rob
Zombieare hitting the road together this fall, co-headlining the "Twins
of Evil" tour. Debauchery, theatrics, ghoulish imagery, and
a full-on assault of all the senses are what's in store for fans when the tour
kicks off, first in the U.S. and then with a 10-country sweep through Europe.
Kicking off September 28 when both Zombie and Manson
co-headline the first day of the Desert Uprising Festival in Phoenix, Arizona,
expect defiant rock'n'roll showmanship in the form of these unholy rollers with
the first U.S. date wrapping in Dallas on Halloween, October
31. For ticket on-sale and purchasing

"Finally! Why did the most obvious tour take so
long to happen? Who knows? Who cares? It's happening
now," stated Zombie. "If good taste is the chief enemy of great
art, then we should be able to fill the Louvre with this f***ing tour. Be
prepared for something wicked this way a-coming."
"I have sympathy for the Whore of Babylon that gave
birth to these twins of evil, and this abomination of a tour," says
Marilyn Manson. "There is no babysitter, and there is no repairing
her womb. If Rob Zombie doesn't f*** you up, than I surely will. Hide all
drugs and firearms...I'm coming to town."
J Devil, the DJ alter ego of KoRn's frontman Jonathan Davis,
will support the Manson/Zombie dates with his chaotic electro-metal. "I
like to think of J Devil as the 'anti-christ' of EDM," he
said. "To play alongside Zombie and Manson is going to be a f***ing
sinister night all around, and an unbelievable theatrical experience. I
can't wait."
Marilyn Manson's eighth full-length album Born
Villain debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top
200 Album Chart, also grabbing the #1 spots on both the Heavy Album
Chart and the Independent Album Chart. "This is Manson at his
best," says ARTISTdirect. "Elegantly, he slices throats and puts
up a middle finger to everyone once more."
For the "Twins of Evil" tour, Zombie and his
band of maniacs - John 5/guitar, Piggy D/bass and drummer Ginger
Fish - will bring their elaborate, multi-media production, complete with
hair-raising theatrics, animatronic robots, oversized LED screens, a
non-stop collage of psychotronic monster film clips, a spectacular light show,
a gigantic robot with flames shooting out of its body, pyrotechnics, insane
guitar riffs and vicious beats. On August 7, prior to the kick off of the
"Twins of Evil" tour, Mondo Sex Head, an album
featuring new and unique remixes of Rob Zombie classics by some of today's top
DJs, including KoRn's Jonathan "J Devil" Davis, Photek, the Bloody
Beetroots, Kraddy, Drumcorps, and Ki: Theory will be
released (Universal Music Enterprises/UMe). Fans can download one of the
new songs, "Thunder Kiss '65 (J-Devil Number of the Beast Remix),"
from iTunes.
