Heaven Upside Down by Marilyn Manson

Heaven Upside Down, Marilyn Manson's tenth album, came out on October 6, 2017, months later than planned: it was meant for Valentine's Day under the working title Say10, but a string of setbacks pushed it back, above all the death of Manson's father, Hugh Warner, during the sessions. The record is dedicated to him. Producer Tyler Bates and drummer Gil Sharone carried over from The Pale Emperor, and the sound is industrial metal with the grime rubbed back in: grinding guitars, pounding drums and Manson snarling and crooning through the murk.

"Kill4Me", a slinky, lurching stomp, became the band's highest-charting entry on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, and with "Tattooed in Reverse" also making that list, it was the first Manson album since Mechanical Animals to put more than one song there. Johnny Depp, Courtney Love and Lisa Marie Presley turned up in the videos, critics heard the resurgence rolling on, and it debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200.
