A gargantuan artistic feat that will go down in history as Manson’s defining statement.Deftones are an American alternative metal band formed in Sacramento, California in 1988. The flow of the record, the delivery of its concept, the clarity with which it strikes its opponents.

Manson has yet to better Holy Wood and that’s fine – nobody’s really bettered it.

The full-on industrial of King Kill and the chilling, closing throes of Count To 6 & Die. The fucked-off, relentless groove and rage of Burning Flag. Fight Song and Disposable Teens are rock club classics but even they’re disgusting, spiteful attacks on America. No stone is left unturned as guns, god and government are all taken down a peg or 15, the sardonic sonic rage of Antichrist Superstar brought back and infused with Manson’s sharpest set of lyrics. The horror was pinned on Manson and instead of just taking it, he respectfully cancelled his remaining shows, hid away and recorded his masterpiece: Holy Wood. A scapegoat to some and a martyr to others, but every household in the land knew his name following the Columbine shootings of 1999. Marilyn Manson as the crucified Christ: that’s the cover and that’s what he was. Marilyn Manson – Holy Wood (In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death)
