Marilyn Manson has released the video for his The Pale Emperor track "The Mephistopheles of Los Angeles." The clip starts with actor Michael K. Williams, best know for playing Omar Little on The Wire, reciting a monologue. It then proceeds to show Manson performing various religious rituals in the streets of L.A., from blessings to a baptism. You can watch the "The Mephistopheles of Los Angeles" video now on YouTube.

Perhaps Manson's new video shows how he is preparing for his tour with The Smashing Pumpkins, ominously titled The End Times tour. The trek begins July 7 in Concord, California.

The Pale Emperor, Manson's ninth studio album, debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200, giving him five straight top-10 records.
