Marilyn Manson Enlists Johnny Depp for Extremely NSFW ‘KILL4ME’ Video
Marilyn Manson recently released his tenth studio album, Heaven Upside Down. The disc built upon the work he'd been putting in with bandmate Tyler Bates, expanding Manson's status into an elder statesman for gothic rock and showing the ways his music can get sexy and aggressive. Manson has just released his newest video from the album for "KILL4ME," featuring his good pal Johnny Depp.
Before you hit that play button above, we should probably let you know that this video is most definitely not safe for work. Johnny Depp wanders throughout the video, tangled up in some kind of mystery with a variety of different women. Manson's presence is mostly confined to standing in a spiral room, eventually joining Depp in some crazy orgy while under the red light of Manson's cross logo.
Manson seems to be having a lot of fun bringing Johnny Depp in to do provocative videos. Just a month ago, the two teamed up for his "SAY10" video, filled with a lot more blood and gore than "KILL4ME," but still a pretty kinky ride. Even without Depp, Manson has been pushing the envelope in this album cycle, bringing gun-wielding nuns to the forefront of "WE KNOW WHERE YOU F--KING LIVE."
Following his recent onstage accident at a show in New York City, Manson has returned to the stage, but hasn't stopped any controversy. He found himself in hot water at Ozzfest Meets Knotfest, where he performed using a microphone-assault rifle contraption to point at the crowd, just hours after the Sutherland Springs shooting. He defended his actions in a statement, saying that, "My performance was not meant to be disrespectful or show any insensitivity. The prop microphone I used on stage was handed to me with the approval of a police officer. My empathy goes out to anyone who has been affected by the irresponsible and reprehensible misuse of REAL guns."
