In a move shaking up the modern rock and metal landscape, Marilyn Manson and Ronnie Radke of Falling in Reverse have officially teamed up on a powerful new single titled “God Is a Weapon,” released on May 20, 2025. They also were spotted at a gym together.
The track is a dark, theatrical fusion of Manson’s industrial rock roots and Radke’s explosive metalcore energy. With haunting verses, a thunderous chorus, and vocal interplay between the two artists, the song brings together two generations of controversial, larger-than-life rock frontmen. The accompanying music video intensifies the track’s themes, blending biblical and mythological imagery in a cinematic style reminiscent of war epics. Dana Dentata makes a dramatic appearance, portraying a symbolic female deity.
The video and single quickly gained massive online traction, crossing a million views within 24 hours and sparking widespread conversation across fan communities. The collaboration not only marks Manson’s musical return after several years of legal battles and public scrutiny but also cements Radke’s status as a creative force unafraid to challenge norms.
Coinciding with the release, Falling in Reverse announced a major North American tour named after the track, with dates running from August through late September. With a stacked lineup of heavy acts joining the bill, the tour is poised to be one of the most talked-about rock events of the year.
“God Is a Weapon” is more than just a song—it’s a statement. And for both Manson and Radke, it signals a bold new chapter.
