Aside from the fact that I would not call, nor consider anything Manson has ever done, to be metal, not even a sub genre of it. He had industrial, rock, punk, blues even, maybe an influence from metal, but his music was never metal. I hear heavy riffs in a lot of bands and some pretty intense aspects known to be in metal music, but that doesn't make those bands metal.
Not everything Slipknot has put out has been bad either, same goes for Manson, in fact I found his newest album to be one of his best in a long line of mediocre releases from him.
