{{expand}}'''Marilyn Manson''' is a shock-rock band formed in 1989 by [[Marilyn Manson (musician)|Brian Warner]], originally called Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. In 1993 the band signed to [[Nothing Records]] after impressing [[Trent Reznor]] with their music. Reznor played a major role in producing the band's 1994 record, ''[[Portrait of an American Family]]'', and many members of [[Nine Inch Nails]] co-wrote and performed on the next album ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]''. Reznor also produced EPs, single tracks and remixes in between these records. The band also toured as a support band for NIN on the [[Self Destruct Tour]] and as part of a Nothing Records showcase for the [[Nights Of Nothing Tour]].
