GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE ERA MARILYNMANSON.COM | MarilynManson.com was very complimental to the themes and imagery which influence the album throughout this era. Though The Golden Age of Grotesque gave birth to no hidden "sister" sites it did however intricately chronicle Manson's transformation into the debauched, absinthe-infused Weimar era "Arch Dandy" artíste whom he evolved into on the album and during the Grotesk Burlesk.
Contained within are the various imageries and intricacies of the site between 2002 to 2004 which paralleled the time period to the creativity and artistic reckless abandon of 1930's Weimar Germany that Manson sought out to recapture with the album and era. (Complete archive).

THE ORACLE - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS |
The complete archive of Marilyn Manson's Q&A board, The Oracle (February/March 2003). "This 'Oracle' will be one of many AKTIONS created to prevent any prostitution of our collective mind. I believe it will provide immediate communication that respects the value of our love affair between danger/chaos and reality without the middle (meddle, mid-ill) man. I will tell my tales as they plummet faster, from floor to floor, like a broken elevator with its door cracked open for you to see. That is the sole purpose of my journal and the finished album's obligation as we set foot into this GOLDEN AGE. However, this "Oracle" is for you, dedicated spectators, that I invite to join in this spectacle... This is the beginning and everyone should know that I love you and thank you for your devotion.

Albeit grotesque and morbid in certain respects, the imagery conjures the renewed excitement and love life Manson has spoken of since the album's inception as being recent inspiration.

THE HIGH END OF LOW MARILYNMANSON.COM, v2 : FULL LAUNCH | On the evening of Sunday October 4th 2009, at approximately 6pm MarilynManson.com was relaunched with its most dramatic and intricate incarnation to date. Significantly to note, this coincided with Manson's tour embarkment in Australia, which is a minimum of 12 hours ahead of all US time zones.
