GILLSAW Unleashes Epic Cover of Marilyn Manson’s “THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE”

April 29, 2025 by Tom

The vision behind our ‘The Beautiful People’ cover stems from a unique personal connection. Marilyn Manson’s groundbreaking original, released almost three decades ago, immediately struck me. Simultaneously, the imagery from the 1932 movie Freaks, especially its legendary dinner scene, left a lasting impression. For me, the song always evoked the film. Our cover project makes this fusion explicit: the visuals (video/artwork) directly blend these influences. Sonically, it’s a tribute reimagined through the heavy GILLSAW lens – respecting the core while delivering our distinct, powerful sound.

FOG WATCH Narrative:

“Fog Watch” tells the tragic story of Ian, a man descending into madness. Through a series of increasingly distorted experiences, we witness his journey from isolated lighthouse keeper to drug-addicted nomad.


  • Fog Watch: Ian battles loneliness and encroaching insanity, symbolized by the perpetual fog. The lyrics reflect his isolation and mental deterioration.
  • Thankful: Ian’s desire for validation turns to bitter rage as he resents the lack of gratitude from those he protects.
  • Rizen: Ian falls under the influence of a false deity, surrendering reason for blind obedience.
  • Siren Comes: Ian faces nightly temptations, battling internal fears and desires.
  • Trenched In: Ian’s final act of devotion leads to his self-burial, a symbolic death and rebirth.
  • Bombay Way: The reality is revealed: Ian’s experiences were drug-induced delusions, culminating in a fatal overdose in Bombay Beach.

“FOG WATCH” explores themes of isolation, the search for meaning, and the destructive power of delusion.

GILLSAW’S SOUND

Gillsaw’s sound is a meticulously crafted fusion of heavy metal’s muscularity and industrial music’s stark, electronic edge. This powerful core is layered with intricate progressive structures and ethereal new age ambient textures, creating a dynamic and immersive atmosphere that defies genre boundaries.
