'''''The Pale Emperor''''' is the ninth studio album by [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]. It was released on January 20, 2015 by [[Marilyn Manson]]'s [[Hell, etc.]] vanity label. ''The Pale Emperor'' is the band's shortest-running studio album. Its title is a reference to the moniker bestowed on Constantius I, the 54th Emperor of the Roman Empire, by his people.<ref name="Chlorus">[https://books.google.com/books?id=NakDAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA69 ''A new and general biographical dictionary'']. William Tooke. 1798. pp. 69</ref>
+
''The Pale Emperor'' by [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] is scheduled for release early in 2015. The album will likely be released by [[Cooking Vinyl]], which still identifies the band as one of its artists.

==Background information==
The first description of the ''Pale Emperor'' sessions came in May 2013, when Manson compared a song written the night before to Prince, and others to Revolting Cocks.<ref>[https://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2013/05/marilyn-manson-interview-gucci-mane.php Marilyn Manson: "I Like To Smoke and Hang Out With The Gangsta Rappers"]. Jim Louvau. Phoenix New Times. May 30, 2013.</ref> He later described the material as "still personal but different," and that touring with [[Alice Cooper]] triggered nostalgia for his ''[[Portrait of an American Family]]'' days.<ref>[[Interview:Worn Villain: Marilyn Manson discusses life, love and what it's like to play the villain|Worn Villain: Marilyn Manson discusses life, love and what it's like to play the villain]]. Drew Ailes. Riverfront Times. June 20, 2013.</ref> After the band's previous album ''[[Born Villain]]'', Manson began a chain of television cameos in ''Californication'' and ''Sons of Anarchy'', meeting ''Pale Emperor'' co-producer [[Tyler Bates]] while working on the former. ''Sons of Anarchy'' creator Kurt Sutter announced his lyrics for an unused [[Shooter Jennings]] song were given to Manson, who expressed interest in using them on the album.<ref name="Sutter">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ginz0vkZ858/ WTF Sutter 2_1_14]. Kurt Sutter. YouTube. February 1, 2014.</ref> Sutter, who heard demos of the new songs, spoke positively of the lyrics and music, which felt "more personal and raw and less theatrical."<ref name="Sutter"/> Drummer [[Gil Sharone]] confirmed his role in an Instagram photo, replacing [[Jason Sutter]] who played his last show with the band on [[2013/07/21 Miami Beach, FL|July 21, 2013]].
+
*In May 2013, Marilyn Manson was interviewed by the Phoenix New Times Blog, where described a little about the new music he was writing:
  
After recording ''The Pale Emperor'', Manson rediscovered a book about Roman emperor Elagabalus, entitled ''Heliogabalus; or, the Crowned Anarchist'',<ref name="KROQ"/> given as a gift from Johnny Depp in 2000.<ref name="Heliogabalus">[[Interview:2014/12/19 Marilyn Manson Talks 'The Pale Emperor' + 'Sons of Anarchy'|Marilyn Manson Talks 'The Pale Emperor' + 'Sons of Anarchy']]. Full Metal Jackie. Loudwire. December 19, 2014.</ref> Manson referred to the identity of the historical Pale Emperor as Elagabalus in early interviews for the album,<ref name="Heliogabalus"/> though it was not Elagabalus but instead Constantius I, who was given the name Constantius the Pale.<ref name="Chlorus"/> Manson described him as earning the Pale Emperor moniker because of his complexion and thought it was an appropriate title for the album.<ref name="Heliogabalus"/>
+
{{cquote|But I wrote a song last night and finished it that has Prince sort of feel to it, but I did a bunch of other songs that had sort of a Revolting Cocks [feel].|source=[http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2013/05/marilyn-manson-interview-gucci-mane.php Marilyn Manson: "I Like To Smoke and Hang Out With The Gangsta Rappers" - phoenixnewtimes.com]}}
  
The first song heard by the public was "[[Cupid Carries a Gun]]," shortened for the opening titles of the television series ''Salem''.<ref name="Salem">[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/video-marilyn-manson-sings-opening-698730 WGN America's 'Salem' Enlists Marilyn Manson for Opening Titles (Video)]. Michael O'Connell. The Hollywood Reporter. April 24, 2014.</ref> Ironically, "Cupid Carries a Gun" was the last song completed for ''The Pale Emperor''. Bates elaborated by saying he and Manson began writing the song before Bates started scoring ''Salem''.<ref name="Salem"/> Bates later showed Manson the ''Salem'' opening, which inspired the two to complete the song.<ref name="Salem"/> Finally, Bates played "Cupid Carries a Gun" for ''Salem'' showrunner Brannon Braga, who called it the "perfect tone and attitude" for the show's opening.<ref name="Salem"/>
 
  
While promoting the band's [[2014/06/27 Moscow, Russia|June 27]] and [[2014/06/29 Novosibirsk, Russia|June 29, 2014]] performances in Russia, Manson told Russia's Radio RockFM station that Bates had imbued the new songs with "the spirit of rock 'n' roll," particularly the Doors, and that his background in film soundtrack scores resulted in an album that "sounds like a movie."<ref name="RockFM">[https://www.rockfm.ru/2014/06/merilin-menson-ya-idu-protiv-sistemy-i-provotsiruyu-publiku/ Marilyn Manson talks about Russia and a new album]. Radio RockFM. June 1, 2014. (Russian)</ref> He also confirmed the large presence of references to Greek mythology in the lyrics.<ref name="RockFM"/> Eventually both of these Russia concerts were cancelled by a bomb threat and Christian Orthodox protest respectively.
+
*In June 2013, Marilyn Manson discussed the direction for the new album, in the midst of the Masters of Madness tour, with Riverfront Times, saying:
 +
{{cquote|It's still personal but different. I guess it would be more like...I wouldn't say what my first record was like, but the state of mind that I was in. Maybe it's this whole Alice Cooper thing that is definitely triggering childhood memories. I surround myself with a very different crowd of people than I have usually, lately. I almost got shot in a drive-by last night. So that was fun. I don't think it was intended for...I just heard a lot of gunfire in the area that I was recording. Let's just put it that way.|source=[[Interview:Worn Villain: Marilyn Manson discusses life, love and what it's like to play the villain]]}}
  
As the months progressed, it became apparent in interviews that the album sounded inspired by or related to blues music.<ref name="KROQ">[[Interview:2014/12/15 Marilyn Manson KROQ Interview|Marilyn Manson KROQ Interview]]. Kevin and Bean. KROQ. December 15, 2014.</ref> Manson compared the sound not directly to "the Black Keys and Jack White" but to the heart and soul of the blues.<ref>[https://www.novinky.cz/kultura/343239-marilyn-manson-citim-povinnost-poburovat.html Marilyn Manson: Cítím povinnost pobuřovat]. Šárka Hellerová. Novinzky.cz. July 25, 2014. (Czech)</ref> Manson mused that even after covering Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "[[I Put a Spell on You]]" and living in New Orleans, he could never identify with how to play genuine blues music previously.<ref name="KROQ"/> He admitted that ''The Pale Emperor'' did explore the blues, though "there was no point where I said, I'm going to make a blues record."<ref name="KROQ"/>
 
  
The next song and first to be revealed in its entirety was "[[Third Day of a Seven Day Binge]]." Confirmed as a single, this song was available to download online for free between October 26 and November 9, after which it was sold on iTunes in anticipation of ''The Pale Emperor'', which was also confirmed as the album's title on November 9. In addition to its standard release, a limited Definitive Box edition will also contain the album in vinyl, CD and MP3 formats with collector packaging, lithographs and a shirt. The last song released before the complete album was "[[Deep Six]]," which received the first music video of the ''Pale Emperor'' era.
+
*On January 2014, Marilyn Manson mentioned the new album in [[Interview:2014/01/08 KERRANG! - The Antichrist Superstar Reborn|an interview]] with Kerrang magazine:
  
== Singles ==
+
{{cquote|'''HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHTS ON HOW YOU’RE GOING TO MARK THE OCCASION?'''
{{Main|Third Day of a Seven Day Binge}}
+
“It’s going to be quite different from anything I’ve ever done before. I want something that makes me rethink, in the same way that when I had my first show, I made a flyer, I didn’t have any songs written, and thought, ‘What am I going to do now?’ I’m excited to see what it’s gonna be. I want to give people what they want, though there’s a difference between being a chef and a waiter. But I’m not one of those people that goes to a concert and wants to sit through a bunch of new songs from a new album that the artist is enthused about.”|source=[[Interview:2014/01/08 KERRANG! - The Antichrist Superstar Reborn]]}}
  
The album started being propelled by the single ''[[Third Day of a Seven Day Binge (single)|Third Day of a Seven Day Binge]]''. On October 26, 2014 a promotional disc containing the album and radio version was issued by [[Cooking Vinyl]]. On December 23, 2014, a limited edition commercial disc backed "Third Day of a Seven Day Binge" with "Deep Six" in the form of two A-sides. On July 9, 2015 "Third Day of a Seven Day Binge" received a music video.
+
* On February 1, 2014, 'Sons of Anarchy' creator Kurt Sutter posted a video for his YouTube channel, WTFSutter, where he mentions working with Marilyn Manson, and listening to tracks from Manson's upcoming new album:
  
{{Main|Deep Six}}
+
{{cquote|I’m actually collaborating; I hope he doesn't mind me saying this, with Marilyn Manson on some music. There’s a song I wrote lyrics for that I gave to Shooter Jennings who’s a buddy of mine and a great musician, that I thought I’d use on Season 6 of the show…and Shooter did the music for and it was cool, and we ended up stripping it down a little bit, and I ultimately didn’t have a place for it. And Shooter started working with Manson on a couple of things, and then gave the lyrics to him, and Manson dug it, and we connected and have been hanging out a little bit, and he may do a cover of that song. But, I’ve heard some songs off his unreleased new record coming out, and I’d love to use at least one of them, maybe more this season on the show...}}
  
[[Deep Six (single)|Deep Six]] is the second single of the 2015 album The Pale Emperor by Marilyn Manson, released on December 15, 2014. Besides its presence in streaming services like Spotify and Rhapsody, the single is also being sold as a digital single. Those who pre-ordered the deluxe box edition of the album, also got a copy of this single as soon as it was released. The only known physical CD single of Deep Six is promotional only.

Sutter goes on describing the new music, saying:

{{cquote|I just find these songs to be not as…and I hope he doesn’t mind me saying this, they just feel a lot more personal and raw and less theatrical, if that makes sense…They’re really cool, and the lyrics are sick."|source=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ginz0vkZ858/ youtube.com]}}

"A couple weeks later I saw the title sequence and the song immediately came to mind. I showed it to Manson for fun more than anything, and it inspired us to finish the song that night. The next day I played it for Brannon Braga and he said that 'Cupid Carries a Gun' was the perfect tone and attitude for the show's main titles."|source=[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/video-marilyn-manson-sings-opening-698730 Tyler Bates - WGN America's 'Salem' Enlists Marilyn Manson for Opening Titles (Video)]}}

*In June 2014, preceding his controversial (and ultimately cancelled performances), in [[2014/06/27 Moscow, Russia|Moscow]] and [[2014/06/29 Novosibirsk, Russia|Novosibirsk]], Russia's Radio RockFM interviewed Manson, where he talked briefly about the upcoming album (in a loose transition from the original Russian article to English):
  
To support the release of ''The Pale Emperor'', Marilyn Manson staged their seventeenth world tour, Three songs from [[The Pale Emperor]] premiered prior to the [[The Hell Not Hallelujah Tour|Hell Not Hallelujah Tour]] on [[2014/10/29 Santa Ana, CA|October 29]], [[2014/10/31 West Hollywood, CA|October 31]] and [[2014/11/01 West Hollywood, CA|November 1]]. the [[The Hell Not Hallelujah Tour]]. On August 19, 2014, Marilyn Manson was announced for Soundwave Festival XV. <ref>[https://www.soundwavefestival.com/ soundwavefestival.com]</ref>. Manson announced the tour's title in a video on his official website's During the first performance of the promotional tour on the 21st of January, Manson played seven of the ten songs on the album, a radical departure from his usual performances that relied heavily on previous hits.
+
{{cquote|My new album will be different from what I've produced before. He imbued with the spirit of rock 'n' roll, in particular the influence of The Doors. It still has some cinematic, because I worked with Tyler Bates, who created the soundtracks to the films "300" and "Watchmen." Therefore, the album sounds like a movie, and I love it. I always wanted to create music Bible, but not in the Christian sense, but rather in terms of its universality. This album defies all charges against me, it reflects every aspect of my personality. Very large role assigned texts of songs that are inspired by Greek mythology, its symbolism, which are the source of all art forms. For me it was a great pleasure to work on this album, because I was finally able to open up in its true essence, to become the person I always wanted to be.|source=[http://www.rockfm.ru/2014/06/merilin-menson-ya-idu-protiv-sistemy-i-provotsiruyu-publiku/ rockfm.ru]}}
