The seventh studio album by Marilyn Manson is scheduled for release in 2009 by Interscope Records.
Background information
Initially Manson revealed the recording would take place between March and May 2008, that two Eat Me, Drink Me b-sides may be included, and that he would be working again with Tim Skold, as well as Slayer's Kerry King, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner and James Iha on the album; a demo of one song was also allegedly recorded, along with written ideas for other potential tracks.
In January 2008, however, it was announced that Tim Skold had departed from the band, coinciding with the return of former bassist Twiggy Ramirez. Manson said in an exclusive interview with The Heirophant that were are plans of recording an album together once the Rape of the World tour ended. Though he has yet to divulge any sonic or thematic details of the upcoming album, Manson has said that the four-year gap between the release of The Golden Age of Grotesque and it's successor was "a mistake I don't want to repeat in the future." Also, a major device in the reunion with the bassist was the desire of Manson and Ramirez to write music together again; these points almost unanimously mean that the band's seventh studio album will see conception and release.
In a February 2008 interview with Steppin' Out, Manson described the new album as, "very ruthless, very heavy, and very violent."
In March 2008, a news blog on the official MySpace profile of Twiggy Ramirez's side project Goon Moon stated that "Jeordie is working on a new Marilyn Manson studio album". A week later Manson's MySpace profile was updated with a new banner, showing a spectral analysis of an audio track, possibly referring to the fact that they are indeed in the studio recording new tracks. In addition to this the track "The Fall of Adam" was added the the page's music player, which may imply a reprisal of the Celebritarian theme.
In an interview with Kerrang!, Manson stated the album would likely see release by winter 2008, and that Slayer's Kerry King and the Smashing Pumpkins' James Iha would still be making an appearance on the album.
On October 19, 2008, Manson and Ramirez announced at the 2008 Scream Awards' after party that the album will "sound much like Antichrist Superstar" and that the recording sessions are "pretty much done." It was also revealed that live guitarist Wes Borland will remain with the band while they tour in support of the record. In an interview with Spinner.com released the following day, Manson put forth an explanation of Ramirez's experience working on the album: "This record is the record we always wanted to make and [Twiggy] is writing from a point of view that I've always written from lyrically. I don't think earlier on he had the opportunity to be damaged, and his soul to be trampled on by women as much as me. So now that his penis has been cut off metaphorically, and been smashed into fucking Sloppy Joe's, someone shit on his heart a thousand times, we tried to put a musical face to that." A statement by Manson that the band are considering releasing a song before the end of the year implies that the album is unlikely to be released in winter 2008 as Manson had declared in May.
