I just checked this site today (5/22/98) and found the link dead. If anyone knows the new addy please let me know =)Baptism of Stains- Purified by Pain
**Recent Changes**Still Great** 8/16/97
the whole idea of just being a link page is great. so many people have no idea where to go and the thought of wading through a search engine topic is not particularly appealing. so this is really nice, it gives sort of a home base platform to jump to other places. Coiled Iris has seperated the page into different sections as well to guide the visitor through: main information, fan based pages, merchanidise and manson related pages, as well as some anti-manson pages =)
Like it says as you enter it can be a little difficult to read in contrast, however the site did provide a text version so that even's it out. its easy to follow (though there was a point where i began to think will this list ever end ;) the header picture is nice and there's not a lot of clutter either which is nice. (btw i like you banner pic too). There is a great deal of variety in the content and presentation which is nice for a change.

Baptism of Stains is one of the more unique manson sites that i've seen. In fact is a great place to peek into the mind of its creators (as well as some fans in the dream section=) It offers one of the most challenging manson quiz's ever and is geared more toward fan participation/interaction than information (as the creators state in the beginning). This is an overall unique and different perspective on manson and its fans. A great site even while under construction, i know that i definately looking forward to seeing even part of the offered stuff completed =)The Abbey of Thelema
Total= 100/100 A+
I love the opening graphics on the Abbey of Thelema! This page is a great place to see a wide selection of pictures and video stills. The Abbey has several areas to look at such as links, interviews and the quote of the day. The Baltimore Maryland Chapter of the POAAFA is also located here. There is just lots of stuff to check out here! An overall great site.scabs, guns and t-shirts- Marilyn Manson T-shirt List
Total: 100/100= A+
The Marilyn Manson T-shirt List and Poster List both offer a unique and needed service to manson fans. Both pages have detailed lists of you guessed it MM t-sirts and posters. The introduction to the t-shirt page goes "This is a close to complete listing of all past and present MM t-shirts, including some unoffical shirts made by friendly spooks (and some evil bootleggers.)" That promise is definately lived up to. And the collection of posters (with their sizes), postcards and flats is also quite impressive. I think that just about any question that a fan could have about what is on what t-shirt and what kinds of pictures are available for sale should be answred on this site. But remember this is just a listing of what is and isn't available not a store (though rev. infidel does give a few links to online stores that *might* carry these products. Overall a help and decent site.My Obession- Marilyn Manson

Just a little messege from the rev. infidel on some help that's needed with the site:
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 1997
From: miskie@chesco.com
i'm just about to start work on an "others" page which will list stickers, lipstick, blinds, night-lights, and other weird stuff. if you have anything like that, mail me with the info and i'll add it & give you credit...
My Obession- Marilyn Manson is, as the creator puts it, "a visual site." I have to say its a rather intersting collection of pictures. Its kind of small but nice, with links to other artwork sites of the creator. Overall I like this site and its collection of pictures.The Marilyn Manson Grotto
Total= 90/100 A
The Marilyn Manson Grotto is a great collection of Australian press on Marilyn Manson. The Grotto is a great collection of aritcles, reviews and picutres form the DTTW Tour in Austrailia. Nice work and a nice collectio, IMHO. Worth seeing to if you would like to see how those outside the US view Manson (see also The Morgue for more European articles.) There is also a web zine called, Violent Splendor, issue I is out and issue II should be out soon =)SugarCookies Marilyn Manson Photo's
Total= 98/100 A+ (still underconstuction)
Spoken Word of Marilyn MansonWellSugarCookies has removed all of her Manson stuff from the site now... Sadly =( But its is now a really great JOJ site, so check it out!!!!! SugarCookies Marilyn Manson Photo's is incredible collection of photos an grahpics. Many of the photos and all of the graphics were created by SugarCookies personally (so don't take without asking permission please). There is also a pretty decent collect for the band as well, photowise, with the exception of Pogo, which i could only find one for. Nice work!!!! And the coolest thing i've seen in a long time- A Spookykids' Internet Greeting Card shop =) This is just the greatest!!!! Also check out the Jack Off Jill Page while your at it, there's some great pics there too =) The only problem that i had was on the Pogo page there was a problem with reading it, the two graphics overlapped onto the words so i couldn't read what was there or if there were other photos. [after talking to SugarCookies, it appears that this is a netscape problem =( so it only happens occasionally ...]

As of 5/25/98 this site is gone. Again I'll leave this up in case someone is looking for the site. If anyone knows where this site or any other dead site moved to please let me know.
The Spoken Word... is a collection of Marilyn Manson quotes. Its rather extensive and encompasses all aspects of Mansons' career. As the author says "this website was made to reach more fans to Marilyn Mansons' insights." And this collection is one way of doing that =) Its truely impressive the amount of time that is spanned and the topics covered by the band. It makes for some rather interesting reading for sure!!
Total 100/100= A+
Songs
of GolgathaWarp Marilyn MansonWell what can I say about Song of Golgatha except, finally a truely orginal and helpful site to manson fans! If you have never seen this you are really missing something!! Songs of Golgatha is a great collection of song interpretations for all of the albums and non album materials...there is even a little video stuff here as well =) And it all comes from fans. Great job and I know that a lot of hard work goes into this site, so remember NO STEALING people!!!
Overal total= 100/100= A+
The Spice Girls Were Marilyn MansonOk .. so we all need a little humility to remind us that we are no better then anyone else =) Well this does just that.. now you too can play with Marilyn Manson in the privacy of your own home, and best yet, ITS FREE!! This is something best left seen to be explain... so go and play with Marilyn to your hearts content, its just too much fun!!
Nina's Manson ArtRather funny!! along the lines of Marilyn Manson is Paul Peiffer. If your bored then this is a time killer =p Nice little flip grahpic as well...
An intresting collection of artwork, it includes other band members as well. I really rather impressed and the zimmy pictures are really nice! You'll also find links to other parts of the artists' site with discussions of satanism and other such things with (i assume) more of the site owners artwork as well.
Really Nice, 100/100= A+ (there is one broken pic link for Oct. 97)
The Nature of the Leaches
Rock and Roll SoarsI really like this page, its your one stop shop for The Dead to the World Video. A nice peice of work with some great stills from the video. (I just hope as always that I don't start seeing these still everywhere with NO credit for the work.) Its quite obvious that the site creator put a lot of time and energy into this and they deserve all the credit and praise for a job well done =) I'm also impressed with how quickly the pages load (their in thumbnails).
Overall, 100/100= A+
A MessengeRThis site is a slightly different twist on most Manson sites, in that it offers background on the serial killers that Manson took their names from. Otherwise though there really isn't that much here thats different. The site creator though does say that new things are in the works and that this is not going to be a typical Manson site, so we'll check back again soon to see what develops.
Overall 78/100 = C+ (bonus for the serial killers, keep working though)
The World Shudders...Interesting, truely a monumental piece of work here. Like other pages that discuss the meaning of Manson and the music, remember please that these are opinions and as such need to be respected regardless of your beliefs. I have to say that the amount of work and effort put into this pages is impressive and I would have to encourage people to take the time and read though it, then make your own conclusions. Impressive work though (nice hidden message btw =)
Overall, 100/100= A+
The World Shudders is a collection of essays and writing aimed at "counteracting all the lies and misinformation about Marilyn Manson" as the site creators state. Its an impressive collection of writings and even some responses from those it was aimed at. I would recommend this site to anyone who is interested in fighting for your rights, if I'm not mistaken I believe this site is attached to POAAFA as well.
Overall, 90/100= A (good content)
Navigating Marilyn Manson On the WebNaviating Marilyn Manson On The Web is a collection of links, but not just manson links. Navigating goes an extra step and points you to other directions that you might have an interest in (such as Fan Art pages, Chat rooms, Manson pages in other languages, mailing lists, record places, former and related manson members pages, philosophical/religious pages and so much more). I have to say that I wasn't to sure about this page at first when I heard about it, but it has managed to go beyond Angelic Realms (which is another great links page). And it has managed to impress me with the simple and straightforward presentation. (oh and love the commentary on makeup btw, please everyone read these pages before your next manson concert ;-) This looks like hours of entertainment, good job. Overall, the page is serving a good purpose and helps weed through this incredible mass of sites that are on the web =) Total: A+
MMP has an amazing intro graphic but thats where it ends. Its an extensive collection of links, lyrics, videos, sounds and pictures all packaged for you download hounds. MMP is an easy to site that even provides instructions on the best method to download what it has. Although there is nothing from the recent album its still worth the visit to add to your collection. While it doesn't give credit outright to its sources it does link you to source instead. Overall a good one stop shop for your downloading interests.
