On the day of the election, it would appear that all musicians came out in support of Clinton, or at least against her opposer, Donald Trump. 

It would not be a controversial subject if it was not topped off with Marilyn Manson topping it off with some fairly worrying. 

The short clip for the song, 'Say10', features someone in a suit with a red tie on, lying down with their head having been chopped off. 

You can watch the video below: 

Manson told The Daily Beast: "Either way tomorrow goes, the visuals are meant to create contemplation. Because it’s obviously bigger than just tomorrow.

“Right now we’re in such a state of confusion when it comes to religion, politics, sexuality, and how they all tie together, and it’s being turned into a circus and a sideshow – and that’s something that I’ve been described as a ringleader of. It seems like a time for me as an artist, and as an American artist, to make something that causes a new set of questions to arise that aren’t simply statements.”

In September, Manson told Rolling Stone that he wasn't going to vote in this election. 

Manson said: “I don’t find either candidate to my liking, so I choose to stand out of this one,” he said. “And I don’t think that’s a coward’s stance. A lot of people might say that. I just don’t really want to be a part of this piece of history. Last time, I did want to be involved in some piece of history as a voter.”

Donald Trump was voted into the White House on the 9 November.
