In a collaboration that has long been rumored but never fully realized—until now—shock rock icon Marilyn Manson and Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann have officially revealed the tracklist for their upcoming joint album, sending waves of anticipation through the global rock and industrial music communities.
Titled “Kunst und Chaos” (translated: Art and Chaos), the album brings together two of the most provocative and theatrical figures in modern music. Fusing Manson’s sinister, glam-industrial sound with Lindemann’s bone-crushing vocals and German lyrical precision, the record is already being hailed as one of the most daring collaborations in recent memory.
The album is set for release in October 2025, and was produced across sessions in Berlin, Los Angeles, and a secluded studio bunker in Eastern Europe. Described as a dark, experimental, and politically charged sonic journey, Kunst und Chaos will explore themes of war, religion, self-destruction, and identity in a world unraveling at the seams.
Here is the official tracklist for Kunst und Chaos:
- “Schwarzblut (Black Blood)”
- “Crown of Flies”
- “Kathedrale der Schmerzen” (Cathedral of Pain)
- “Burn the Icons”
- “Mein Zirkus” (My Circus)
- “Godless Theatre”
- “Der Abgrund” (The Abyss)
- “Saints of Rust”
- “Ich Vergesse Nichts” (I Forget Nothing)
- “Last Sermon”
- “Feuerlied” (Fire Song)
- “No Funeral for Tomorrow”
Each song features both artists contributing vocals, often in English and German interchangeably. Lyrically, the album dives into the decay of modern institutions, personal demons, and the seductive pull of destruction. Early previews suggest the duo alternates between monstrous industrial anthems and slower, haunting ballads that showcase a surprising vulnerability beneath the theatrical rage.
In a joint statement, Manson and Lindemann said:
“This record is not about provocation for the sake of noise—it’s about exposing what lies beneath. We built this together from scars, from fury, and from the art of survival. It’s as much a mirror as it is a hammer.”
Visuals for the album are being handled by Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein, known for his stark, disturbing portraits, while the first single, “Crown of Flies,” is expected to drop in late July, accompanied by a cinematic music video.
Kunst und Chaos is more than a musical collaboration—it’s a cultural collision. For fans of industrial rock, theatrical metal, and unapologetic art, this album is shaping up to be a defining release of the decade.
