Marilyn Manson is back in the spotlight with his haunting rendition of Phil Collins’ classic, “In The Air Tonight,” released today, April 16, 2025. This limited edition maxi single, available exclusively through Nuclear Blast Records, includes the B-side track “As Sick As The Secrets Of (Sleep)” and is capped at just 4,000 copies worldwide.
Known for his transformative covers (https://amzn.to/4luWls9), Manson has a history of reimagining songs with his unique dark flair. His 1995 cover of Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” became a defining hit, propelling him into mainstream recognition . Other notable covers include “Tainted Love,” which achieved significant chart success in Europe , and “God’s Gonna Cut You Down,” which topped Billboard’s Rock Digital Songs chart .
This release coincides with Manson’s ongoing resurgence. Following the 2024 launch of his album “One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1,” he embarked on a headlining tour, marking his return to the stage after several years. The tour continues through 2025, with dates across the U.S. and Europe .
Manson’s return also follows recent legal developments. In January 2025, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office announced that Manson would not face criminal charges after a lengthy investigation into allegations of abuse, citing insufficient evidence and statutes of limitations .
