Antichrist Superstar is the second full-length studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released on October 8, 1996 by Interscope Records. It is a rock opera concept album and the first installment in a trilogy that includes Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). It spawned three singles (The Beautiful People, Tourniquet and Man That You Fear). Antichrist Superstar is currently the band's longest running studio album.
The record also raised public awareness of the band, turning them into a household name. This led to numerous protests from religious and civic groups such as the American Family Association due to the band's anti-Christian stance. It was produced by the band's frontman and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. The album has sold over 7 million copies worldwide with 1.9 million of those copies being sold in the United States alone.
