===GOD OF FUCK IS HUMAN AFTER ALL SHOCKER!===
'''Marilyn Manson Lays Soul Bare!'''

The Antichrist Superstar has been speaking to Rock Sound about his musical return. '[[Eat_Me,_Drink_Me_(album)|Eat Me, Drink Me]]', [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s sixth studio album due to drop in June, is an autobiographical snapshot of the past year of his life, which has seen the break-up of his marriage to burlesque artiste [[Dita Von Teese]], and led to some of the darkest points in his life.

Speaking about the lyrics that directly reference those times, Manson said: "I feel like it makes the record more human without it being forced. It's telling the listeners that I'm normal by any stretch of the imagination and being honest in a way that I've never been comfortable being: it's essentially stuff that I'd write in my diary if I kept one religiously. It's the most sexual an relationship-orientated record and also my darkest record without a doubt."

Together with the change in lyrical style, the Antichrist Superstar, more renowned for revealing himself in public in other ways, has stripped his vocals bare. "I felt like I needed a place to excel." he said, "and it wasn't just writing my feelings and being innovative with what I was writing about, it was also the delivery as a singer, and I feel that's where I succeeded the most."

Song titles include '[[If I Was Your Vampire]]', '[[The Red Carpet Grave|Red Carpet Grave]]' and '[[Putting Holes in Happiness]]', and Manson's chuffed with people's early receptions so far. "People have responded that it's very raw - not in the obvious technical sense, but in every bit of the intent," he said. "For the most part, every song was written the same day it was sung; the melody was invented in the initial singing of it and that take was what we recorded. It's some of the best stuff I've done in my whole life."
