In a move that surprised both fans of alternative rock and those of the more intimate indie, the controversial Marilyn Manson appeared as a special guest on the new single of Fencestitled “Drugs Like You”.

The song marks a meeting point between the melancholic atmospheres of Christopher Mansfield (mind behind the Fences project) and the scratchy voice of the Reverend, confirming Manson’s desire to explore sound territories distant from his classic industrial metal.

“Drugs Like You” is the second single from the next Fences album, with an evocative title Now She’s Long Gone Sun Squintwhich is scheduled for release in June. Although the title may suggest the dark themes typical of Manson, the piece moves on coordinates pop psych And indie folkwith lyrics that reflect on the cyclical nature of addiction and loneliness.

Manson’s participation in this project is not isolated. The artist is having an extremely active 2026. He is currently busy with a series of dates in the United States, which will soon take him to Europe. The anticipation for “Chapter 2” is growing One Assassination Under Godfollowing his successful recording comeback in 2024.
