According to Blabbermouth, the track originally appeared on the television series Salem back in April 2014, but has just now been made available for streaming on Youtube and Spotify.

Marilyn Manson Explains Involvement in Lana Del Rey Rape Vid
Last month, a mysterious video by horror director Eli Roth titled "Sturmgruppe 2013 Reel" surfaced online and featured scenes of Lana Del Rey being raped intercut with images of Marilyn Manson. Though Manson's representatives immediately denied that the shock-rock singer had anything to do with the video, Manson himself has now come forward and explained how the disturbing video came to fruition. "It was not meant to be a Marilyn Manson video," Manson told "NME." "The editor of the company that put it out was somebody who's edited my videos. That video was something that was done with a camera that Eli, who's my friend, and I both wanted to test out, so I let him test it out. "[W]hat they filmed was put in context seemingly as if it were a Marilyn Manson video," he continued, "and that was in no way the intention." Although the video that leaked online was not meant to be a Marilyn Manson video, Manson did want to make a music video with Roth and Del Rey, though it proved too difficult to organize. "Eli and I wanted to do a music video with her," Manson explained, "but she was being such a problem, for me personally, although I still respect her, I'm friends with her. I just left, I was tired, I was not willing to make that part of the video. Eli and I originally had intentions of making a video with her, but that is not the intention that is represented in that film clip because that is not what I filmed, not for my video." -

Song Questions with Song Answers: Rod Stewart and Shakira, Lil Jon and Hall & Oates, and More
Acts like One Direction and Taylor Swift have created armies of super-creepy, devoted fans. We're not talking about the typical Directioner...we're talking about the stalkers and X-rated fan fiction writers. Fortunately this isn't the '60s, where fans could apparently infiltrate the music industry and send messages to their idols. The best example is Elvis Presley, specifically his hit "Are You Lonely Tonight?," which according to Billboard generated at least four songs titled "Yes, I'm Lonely Tonight" and one "Oh, How I Miss You Tonight" as "answers" to his question. Odds are these songs were more about profits than untamed hormones, but we love the idea of response tracks. -

Die Antwoord Share 'Ugly Boy' Video with Marilyn Manson, Flea, Jack Black [WATCH]
South African hip-hop duo Die Antwoord has shared the music video for their song "Ugly Boy," which you can check out below. The video, directed by Die Antwoord member Ninja, features a couple cameo appearances from other musicians — who are apparently "ugly boys" — including Marilyn Manson and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Other cameo appearances in the video include actor Jack Black and models Cara Delevingne and Dita Von Teese. Electronic artist Aphex Twin, whose song "Ageipolis" is sampled in the track, has been rumored by some sites as appearing in the video, though "Pitchfork" notes that he does not actually appear. As can be expected of the famously weird Die Antwoord, the music video for "Ugly Boy" is pretty weird stuff, with plenty of blood, violence and other unsettling/offensive images, including a guy in blackface wearing a sweatshirt that reads, "Hi, My Name is God."
