The eighth studio album by Marilyn Manson entered the writing phase during The High End of Low Tour in 2009.[1] A release date has yet to be projected for the record, nor has its distrubutor been confirmed, since the band's contract with Interscope Records concluded in late 2009.[1] Citing his reconciliation with former girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood and split with Stoya, vocalist Marilyn Manson attests that lyrical content of the album will be "more romantic," yet "self-abusive."[1]

Background information

The prospect of an eighth studio album by Marilyn Manson was first confirmed by Manson himself in an interview with Metal Hammer on December 3, 2009.[1] Manson elaborated, "We've just been released from our record contract with Interscope so I think a lot of the creative control on which my hands were tied on a lot of choices – the music videos – things like that. And the first example is the newest video, they clearly wouldn't have allowed me to make that video. So we started writing new songs on the road – a bit like [David Bowie's album] 'Aladdin Sane' – I think people can expect a new record a lot sooner than we [expected]."[1]
