ROB ZOMBIE, MARILYN MANSON Announce Twins Of Evil Tour
July 12, 2012, 12 years ago
MARILYN MANSON and ROB ZOMBIE are 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 US and then with a 10-country sweep through Europe.
Beginning September 28th 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 US leg wrapping in Dallas, Texas on Halloween - October 31st.
"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.
For the Twins Of Evi" tour, Zombie and his band of maniacs - guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D, 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 7th, 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 on Universal Music Enterprises/UMe. Fans can download one of the new songs, 'Thunder Kiss '65 (J-Devil Number Of The Beast Remix)', from Amazon and iTunes.
