Background information

  • In May 2013, Marilyn Manson was interviewed by the Phoenix New Times Blog, where described a little about the new music he was writing:
"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]."

  • 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:
“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."

  • On January 2014, Marilyn Manson mentioned the new album in an interview with Kerrang magazine:
HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHTS ON HOW YOU’RE GOING TO MARK THE OCCASION?

“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.”

  • On February 2014, Gil Sharone posted a photo from studio with Marilyn Manson and producer Tyler Bates.
  • On April 24, 2014 the first song from the album, "Cupid Carries a Gun", makes a debut on WGN's Salem TV show. [1]
"Manson and I wrote a draft of 'Cupid Carries a Gun' shortly before I began working on the score for Salem," says Bates. "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."
