Mary Ouellette, SheWillShootYou.com / Warner It was a close race, but Marilyn Manson edged out Deftones in our last Cage Match. Can Manson’s ‘Slo-Mo-Tion’ win again versus today’s heavy hitters? Avenged Sevenfold enter the Cage Match with their track ‘Carry On,’ which is featured in the video game ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops II.’ The new song should keep fans satisfied as the band works on a follow-up album to 2010′s ‘Nightmare.’ So will Manson and his single ‘Slo-Mo-Tion’ be on the fast track to another win or will Avenged Sevenfold and their tune ‘Carry On’ gain a serious victory?
