Austin Scaggs of Rolling Stone magazine’s ‘Smoking Section’ recently got a preview of Marilyn Manson’s new album, ‘Eat Me, Drink Me’, at a Los Angeles-area recording studio. Scaggs writes that he was ‘blown away’ by the CD, which includes a six-minute epic, ‘If I Was Your Vampire’, with the lyric ‘The hole is where the heart is’. “If anyone thought Manson was down for the count, think again,” raves Scaggs.
‘Eat Me, Drink Me’ is tentatively due for release this spring and will follow up 2003’s ‘The Golden Age of Grotesque’. Manson told MTV.com in the fall of 2005 that he expected his next record to be “something above and beyond and different — sonically, emotionally - than anything I’ve done.”
Manson recently asked the court to block any future claim for spousal support by his estranged wife, burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese. According to TMZ.com, which obtained court documents, Manson has also requested that Teese pay for her own lawyers in the couple’s divorce proceedings. Also in the documents, Manson claims that he and Von Teese split up on Halloween, while Von Teese maintains that they separated on Christmas Eve. Both have cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakup of the marriage.

MANSON will issue “Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides The Hand)” as the first single from “Eat Me, Drink Me”, according to Universal Music France. The track is expected to arrive at radio stations by the middle of this month and will be accompanied by a video shot in 3D. The clip is said to be an excerpt from a larger project that Manson is filming with “Titanic” director James Cameron, although that collaboration has yet to be officially confirmed.
The album will reportedly be available in both a standard and collector’s edition.
MANSON is scheduled to support the album with a summer tour co-headlined by SLAYER.
The singer was given a private reception in Fort Myers, Florida last Saturday (March 31) to celebrate the opening of his new art exhibition at the city’s Space 39 gallery. The gallery will display Manson’s latest paintings through April 17.
marilyn manson is so awesome he is the most awesomist band in the fuckin world im getting all his cd’s
I am so excited about the new album I could spit!
I thought Golden had about 50% superb tracks and 50% mediocre fillers. Will be interesting to hear some samples of the new stuff. I guess we can also expect a tour soon…I want MM to be a contestant on 1 vs 100.
does anyone know if he is coming to australia in 2007 really want to see him?
I cant fuckin wait, this cd is gonna kick everyone in the fuckin nutsack, yeah marilyn fuckin manson,he’s fuckin back yall.
Well, he ain’t back yet - but I am very curious to see what he will come up with next. I still feel Antichrist Superstar is his best work but that was largely due to Trent Reznor at the production helm methinks.

Marilyn Manson talks about his forthcoming album Eat Me, Drink Me in the latest (May) issue of the magazine Revolver. This article talks about many influences for the new album and Manson promises after laying dormant he isn’t just going to sneak back into society.
FEEDING FRENZY
MARILYN MANSON RETURNS FROM HIS DARKEST DAYS YET, WITH A FRESH NEW FEAST FOR THE SENSES
“This is the record I’ve worked all my life to get toâ€. Marilyn Manson says of his forthcoming album, Eat Me, Drink Me (Nothing/Interscope). You always have to transform, or you can’t continue as an artist, and this record has been the biggest transformation for me.”
Eat Me, Drink Me,-his first disc since 2003’s The Golden Age Of Grotesque-was co produced by Manson and bassist/aide de camp Tim Skold, and is being mixed by Sean Beavan, who has worked on several other Manson projects, including 1996’s Antichrist Superstar, and 1998’s Mechanical Animals. According to the frontman, Eat Me, Drink Me “takes a totally different approach musicallyâ€. While some sources have likened his new sound to Queen, Manson will only say “It’s better heard than described.†Still, he reveals, “On this record I really wanted to sing, and that has to come from a naked, emotional place. “Its not a record about me crying, or songs about my woes, but I think this record will probably speak to more people in different ways, because of its total human element.â€
As practically everyone knows now, Manson’s yearlong marriage to burlesque performer Dita Von Teese fell apart in late 2006. Their break-up was the capper of what Manson now describes as “The most fucked up year of my life†one that found him almost catatonic at times from severe depression.
“As many dark places as I’ve gone in my life and in my music, this past year… it’s a real wonder that I’m alive†he says with a soft chuckle. ‘I never wanted to make music again, but this was the only salvation I had going for me. So somehow I came out of that, and I came out of that by writing a song, and that song turned into a record.â€
Of the song in question “Just a car crash away†Manson says “I compare love to fire, and how it consumes everything, and scars everything, and changes everything. A couple people I have played it for have cried, but I don’t think it’s sad, I just think it’s terribly romantic, in a Bram Stoker sort of wayâ€. Other songs include “The Red Carpet Grave and the six-minute epic ballad “If I Was Your Vampire.†“It’s the centerpiece of the album,†Manson says of the latter, “I woke up Christmas Day and wrote it. It’s kind of my death wish fantasy.â€
According to Manson, Vampirism is just one of the dark themes running through Eat Me, Drink Me, which was recorded mostly in his home in the Hollywood Hills. “If I had to do a record review, I’d say it’s got a cannibal, consumption, obsessive, violent-sex, romance angle, but with an upbeat swing to it.†He says with a laugh. Aside from the obvious Lewis Carroll and Jesus Christ references, Manson says the album’s title was also inspired by “that story several years back of the German man who put out an ad that he wanted to be eaten, and the man who ate him. Although I can’t relate to the relationship those two had, I found the story very compelling in a romantic way. I think a lot of people wouldn’t look at it as romantic, but it was to them in some sick way, and it is to me in some sick way, too†he laughs.
Eat Me, Drink Me is tentatively scheduled for a May release, after which Manson and his band (Skold, drummer Ginger Fish, Keyboardist M.W.Gacy, and a guitarist to be named later) will hit the road for the first time since his Against All Gods tour in late 2004. “I’ve been laying dormant, but its not going to be just a gradual sneaking back into society,†Manson promises, “Its going to be a very large swarm of pestilence.†DAN EPSTEIN

So I totally have the full version of the new album!!! Muwahahahahahahahahahaha Just thought I would throw that out there.
Marilyn Manson you are by far the most accomplished musician i ahve followed. Don’t let anything hold you back, I’m ready for another side of Manson, more hardcore music and explicit lyrics, bring it on Manson, show me what you got!!!
Umm the new album kinda blows. He’s lost without Reznor’s magic at the production desk. (sorry to say)
For those who were asking, unless your question was answered already
Manson will be back in Australia in September this year
Thank god
I am MM and I like to suck my own little dick and let ziggy lick my balls everyday

To: “A person” that posted on May 16th 07,
How do you know he’ll be back in Australia in September? I mean that’d be amazing and I’d be there with bells on, but everytime I google it and check his website(which I do religiously) Australia isn’t mentioned..Are you sure this isn’t just rumour?If it’s not please link me to where you got your info or anyone else if they know about him coming to Aus

I am really him if you don’t belive me then why do i have hickys on my asshole?

jealousy only helps the healing of the soul to hesitate.
your embarassing yourself. if you dont like him, why do you spend your time to even bother critisizing him.
IT DOES KICK ASS!

That’s was fucking awesome, I hope this one is better from the last “The Golden Age of Grotesque” well I’ll wait this album in Indonesia,… I hope it’ll come soon.
I heard he’s coming out with a new CD soon.
