The seventh studio album by Marilyn Manson has been set for recording following the band's Rape of the World tour, which ended on March 2, 2008.
[edit] 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 there are plans of recording an album together once the tour is over. Though he is yet to divulge any sonic or thematic details 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 sideproject 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 could be implying the return of the Celebritarian theme.
In a recent 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.
