Manson: "New album is very violent"

Marilyn Manson, who reunited with original bassist Jeordie 'Twiggy Ramirez' White in January, has been busy working on new material.

The singer, who is clearly reeling after the commercial and critical failure that was 2007's Eat Me, Drink Me, says tracks for his eponymous band's seventh studio album are "very ruthless, very heavy, and very violent."

The Double M has also revealed that Slayer guitar god Kerry King and The Smashing Pumpkins' James Iha will be making guest appearances on the record.

The as yet untitled album is scheduled for a winter 2008 release.

Wow, didn't see an appearance from Kerry King coming! Should be interesting...maybe this will mark a return to form.

Good to see Manson is getting his agression back! Songs like 'Tainted Love' and 'Mobscene' are all well and good but lets have some more angry stuff along the lines of 'The Reflecting God' and 'The Fight Song'! I know Kings' said to Manson before he loves the stuff off Antichrist Superstar so him guesting is a good sign!

Hopefully it'll be better than Eat me, drink me was. If he strips it down and goes back to basics we could have something good again!

Wow I have just realised why I see you bashing people all the time, it's because you have a good taste in music and are vocal about it. I can't wait, genuinely, I saw them live at Birmingham on the last tour and it rates up there as one of the top nights of my life.

If this album is anything like any of the big three then I could not be happier, I like Eat me, Drink me but it wasn't the same.

Kerry King whores himself out to anyone with money these days.

I just wish someone could pay him to stay away from Slayer for a year and let Jeff Hanneman write the next Slayer album by himself.

re: EX-SMASHING PUMPKINS

in the bolly's words, "once a pumpkin, always a pumpkin."
it's just fine to still call the mighty iha a pumpkin, even if bolly hates asians and blames them for breaking up the band.

Twiggy Twiggy Twiggy :D
Ofc this album will be great, it has Twiggy in it...and all the Manson albums with him are awesome.

Eat me, drink me sucked simply becuase Twiggy had no input to it.

now here is a proper rockstar, a reason the that these fucktards known as the us government and all the people in power should be mad and worried, he was blamed for columbine for fucks sake, whats gerards ways claim to fame? a silly girl hung herself over him and his wife is making a career off his "career" and i use the term loosely.

face it, manson made people look twice, 3 or 4 times even, when they see twats like gerard way they think " oh look, another emo cunt " way has no identity. his wife however.... Mrs gerard way.. i hope she catches aids and dies.

manson is an icon, not that cockwomble way.

Yeah, that's what I thought...

And I guess that's your opinion, but comparing the two in terms of performance, MCR were better (at least when I saw them).
