the NachtKabarett

Along with the song preview websites, from 1999 to 2003 Manson released six flashcard previews from The Last Tour On Earth, Holy Wood & The Golden Age Of Grotesque. Many of these flashcards contain hidden images & symbols which relate to the imagery of each era they are a part of.
Because these are rarer elements in the world of Marilyn Manson, just as the Hidden Websites, they are offered here for download. As The NACHTKABARETT is not hosted for free it is asked that direct linking of URLs are not to be posted & given out other than those who visit this page as part of the site so they may continue to be offered for download.

Four of the first Holy Wood Tarot Flashcards also acted as a key to what was known as the Masterboard, where each of the four cards, Godeatgod, Cruci-fiction in Space, The Love Song and Burning Flag contained each two codes for unlocking two tarot cards on the online masterboard. After unlocked, the tarot cards were then used, after aligning in position (the key to alignment was portions of the gun crucifix superimposed on each to make up the whole when all positioned correctly (the first version of the masterboard utilized the Mercury symbol instead of the crucifix)) to unlock a secret download of an unreleased song, 'Diamonds & Pollen'.
