\"\"ROB ZOMBIE AND MARILYN MANSON JOIN FORCES\u00a0FOR \u201cTWINS OF EVIL\u201d U.S. AND EUROPEAN TOUR<\/strong>
\nKoRn\u2019s Jonathan \u201cJ Devil\u201d Davis will Provide Support on Many U.S. Dates<\/em><\/p>\n

It had to happen. Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie are hitting the road together this fall, co-headlining the \u201cTwins of Evil\u201d tour.<\/p>\n

Debauchery, theatrics, ghoulish imagery, and a full-on assault of all the senses are what\u2019s in store for fans when the tour kicks off, first in the U.S. and then with a 10-country sweep through Europe. \u00a0<\/p>\n

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\u2019n’roll showmanship in the form of these unholy rollers with the first U.S. date wrapping in Dallas on Halloween, October 31.

\u201cFinally! Why did the most obvious tour take so long to happen? Who knows? Who cares? It\u2019s happening now,\u201d stated Zombie. \u201cIf good taste is the chief enemy of great art, then we should be able to fill the Louvre with this fucking tour. Be prepared for something wicked this way a-coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have sympathy for the Whore of Babylon that gave birth to these twins of evil, and this abomination of a tour,\u201d says Marilyn Manson. \u201cThere is no babysitter, and there is no repairing her womb. If Rob Zombie doesn\u2019t fuck you up, than I surely will.\u201d
\n\u201cHide all drugs and firearms\u2026 I\u2019m coming to town,\u201d Manson stated.<\/p>\n

J Devil, the DJ alter ego of KoRn\u2019s frontman Jonathan Davis, will support the Manson\/Zombie dates with his chaotic electro-metal. \u201cI like to think of JDevil as the \u2018anti-christ\u2019 of EDM,\u201d he said. \u201cTo play alongside Zombie and Manson is going to be a fucking sinister night all around, and an unbelievable theatrical experience. I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marilyn Manson\u2019s 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. \u201cThis is Manson at his best,\u201d says ARTISTdirect. \u201cElegantly, he slices throats and puts up a middle finger to everyone once more.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the \u201cTwins of Evil\u201d tour, Zombie and his band of maniacs \u2013 John 5\/guitar, Piggy D\/bass and drummer Ginger Fish \u2013 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 \u201cTwins of Evil\u201d tour, Mondo Sex Head, an album featuring new and unique remixes of Rob Zombie classics by some of today\u2019s top DJs, including KoRn\u2019s Jonathan \u201cJDevil\u201d Davis, Photek, the Bloody Beetroots, \u2020\u2020\u2020, Kraddy, Drumcorps, and Ki: Theory will be released (Universal Music Enterprises\/UMe). Fans can download one of the new songs, \u201cThunder Kiss \u201965 (J-Devil Number of the Beast Remix),\u201d from iTunes.<\/p>\n
