Some collaborations feel engineered for streams. This one feels summoned.
“God Is A Weapon” isn’t a song. It’s a reckoning. Falling In Reverse—forever perched at the edge of chaos—pulls the trigger on convention with Marilyn Manson as their shadow prophet. Together, they don’t just blur genre lines; they burn them into the dirt and carve a new altar out of sound.
Ronnie Radke’s voice doesn’t climb in this track—it ascends like an avenging angel lit by LED hellfire. That scream at 2:52? It doesn’t just hit a note; it ruptures reality. And when Manson emerges mid-ritual, it’s not as a guest—it’s as a myth reborn. If you didn’t flinch the moment his silhouette emerged beside Ronnie in the final frame, you’re not watching right. That scene alone deserves a place in the Rock Hall under “Modern Iconography.”
Lyrically, it’s confessional combat. “If God is a woman, then God is a weapon” sounds like a sermon screamed through gritted teeth. Radke and Manson paint religion not as sanctuary, but as seduction, temptation, and divine destruction. It’s gothic poetry with the swagger of a post-apocalyptic preacher.
Visually, director Jensen Noen didn’t make a music video—he shot a war film. A perfume ad from hell. A fashion spread by a fallen angel. It’s what Sin City might’ve looked like if it was resurrected by Lucifer and styled by Tim Burton’s nightmares. And the fans get it—one mother and daughter bonding over it online proves this track isn’t generational—it’s transcendental.
“God Is A Weapon” is heavy, haunting, and oddly healing. It’s not asking for acceptance—it’s declaring dominion. Welcome to the new gospel.
