"Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" is a song by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released as the second single from their seventh studio album The High End of Low. It has been remixed by the Teddybears. The song was released for download on May 5, 2009, along with the pre-order of The High End of Low. The song was included in the game Saints Row: The Third on one of the in-vehicle radio stations.
Reception
Metal Hammer describes "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" as having
"Heavy basslines, a stomping back-beat and a very traditionally Manson glam-chorus are the order of the day. It's this glam rock tinge that really shines through on the track, nodding to his penchant for decadent [1970s] rock but with an old school Manson industrial shade [...] He may not be as dangerous as he once appeared but it is good to hear Mazza using one of those many middle fingers he was born with once again."[4]
Thrash Hits gave the song a positive review, saying "‘Arma-goddamn-motherfucking-geddon’ rides Ramirez’s rubbery honk of a bassline into a fist-pumping, glam-stomp of a chorus," and included it as one of the top tracks of the album.[5]
Music video
Concept and filming
On April 3, Polydor Records alluded to the previously unconfirmed music video for "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon," saying it would be available no earlier than April 17. On April 6, behind-the-scenes video clips and photos of the song's music video, directed by Delaney Bishop, were released.[6]
Manson has revealed that the music video was filmed using "30 or 40 cameras," but only two of these cameras make up the footage seen in the final video. Manson went on to tell that he is interested in releasing "the 30-camera angle version" as well.[7] Manson also claimed that the song was inspired by an instance where he was driving to the studio and witnessed a 'ruckus' with the police, and that it has a very intentional "Adam Ant/Gary Glitter throwback vibe."[7]
Release
On May 14, the music video debuted on NME.com in censored form.[8]
