My younger self is pretty stoked about this! Most people are only familiar with Orgy because of their “Blue Monday” cover, but they had several other good songs.
Orgy hasn’t put out anything since 2015 (an EP entitled Talk Sick). However, front man Jay Gordon has mentioned an upcoming full-length album, Entropy. The release date is still unknown.
Anyway, here are the dates for their tour.

Despite the fact that Tim Sköld is on this album, Eat Me, Drink Me is one of my less favored Marilyn Manson records. Perhaps it is because Sköld handles bass and guitar, John 5 having made his exit by this point, but I found the album to be lacking musically. That is not to say it’s bad; it just falls short of its predecessors.
Still, it’s Marilyn Manson and has its moments, so I have made Eat Me, Drink Me my album of the week.

Evestus — “Everything in Here,” from the upcoming 2018 release (title to be announced).
Evestus — “Welcome to My World,” from the upcoming 2018 release (title to be announced).
Evestus — “The Fall,” from the No God EP (2012).
Evestus — “Sleep Forever,” from the No God EP (2012).
Evestus — “Voices,” from the No God EP (2012).
