Tract 1: The Family and its function in today's society:

How you can survive the coming Apocalypse

Children, it is the last hour. You heard that AntiChrist is to come: well, now many AntiChrists have made their appearance, and this makes us certain that it really is the last hour.

  • The end is nigh, and the day of final judgment approaches. As the Apocalypse comes nearer and with quickness such as lightning, we here at Marilyn Manson's Church of AntiChrist Superstar find it in all our best interests to keep you abreast of how our ministers are spreading the gospel according to AntiChrist Superstar....

  • The 15-track EP, Smells Like Children, was released in lieu of a "Dope Hat" single. It includes a slow mix of "Dope Hat," called "Diary of a Dope Fiend"; "Organ Grinder" and "Cake and Sodomy" remixes by Dave Ogilvie (producer, Skinny Puppy); an acoustic re-write of "Cake and Sodomy" by Tony Wiggins; Twiggy Ramirez's "Scabs, Guns, and Peanut Butter"; covers of The Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams," Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You," and Patti Smith's "Rock & Roll Nigger"; and more. It also features "real snippets of life. Instead of taking samples from movies, we've taken samples of real life, and kind of dispersed them throughout the record. Real life can be even better than the movies."

    The video for "Dope Hat" (mac compression) is a take on the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with a cameo appearance by Anton LaVey of The Church of Satan. Call 1-800-DIAL-MTV, or write to MTV, 1515 Broadway, NYC, NY 10036, to request their videos; and don't stop. The world must spread its legs to the divinity that is AntiChrist Superstar.

  • The Spooky Kids are back out on the road propagating and promulgating to their devoted disciples. Rev. Manson has several surprises in store for everyone, "involving sex and violence, but not necessarily in that order," so don't miss them this fall.

  • Future signs of the Apocalypse include: A home video to be directed by photographer/adult-movie director Richard Kern, ("Lunchbox"), which will include all the music videos, live footage, and personal, behind-the-scenes exposes. Although last i heard Kern was not working on the video but it is still in development, and may evolve into something different....ahh ambiguity.

    Please make yourself at home and learn a little about the past and present of a great band and their philosophy.
