While Marilyn Manson’s approach was hardly original (in fact, many of the band’s gimmicks could be directly linked to bands past), few rock groups on a major label had been so unashamedly confrontational and unapologetic. In fact, all the members went by aliases that combined a movie star’s name with a serial killer’s. While such future releases as 1995’s Smells Like Children and 1996’s Antichrist Superstar would place the band at the top of the / heap, it was the group’s debut in 1994, Portrait of an American Family, that got the ball rolling.
