Background and development
The eighth studio album by Marilyn Manson entered the writing phase during The High End of Low Tour in 2009. Guitarist Twiggy has projected a release date of 2011, when the album will be released through Cooking Vinyl Records and Marilyn Manson's own label Hell, etc.
On December 3 2010, it was announced that Marilyn Manson had parted ways with long-time label Interscope Records. Marilyn Manson said:"We will always be our worst audience, until we stop being an audience and start being an artist. Any art is flesh and blood, no matter how you perform, decorate or display it. But we all want the passionate horror of that blood. And blood is what I am here to bring." Of the split, he said "We've even started writing new songs on the road, so I think people can expect a new record a lot sooner than ." It was also announced that special one-off concerts were in development for the near future. These performances would see each album from the Triptych ("Holy Wood," "Mechanical Animals" and "Antichrist Superstar") being played in their entirety over three different nights in the one venue. The tour would take him through-out the United States and (maybe) "a few select dates in Europe."
In a recent November interview with Eric Blair, when asked about what is going on in the world of Marilyn Manson right now, bassist Twiggy Ramirez replied: "We've got a new album that we're working on. It's almost done. It'll probably be out next year. It's fantastic. It's our best record yet, I think. I mean, everyone always says that, but I think this is our best work so far. . . It's kind of like a little more of a punk rock 'Mechanical Animals' without sounding too pretentious."
Recording and production
According to Musicalyptus, Manson’s upcoming album was recorded with Manson’s longtime collaborator Twiggy Ramirez, and the recording session took place in Hollywood, LA, California.
Concept and release
On May 7, 2010, both entertainer Rudy Coby and The Nachtkabarett's Nick Kushner were previewed material from the album, the latter describing it on Facebook as "fuckin hardcore." Elaborating on the band's musical direction, Manson commented on Twiggy being influenced by his touring experiences in 2009, particularly during the Rockstar Mayhem festival.

Music
In April 2010, Manson confirmed during his appearance at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards that the band had recorded 13 songs, one of which failed to appear in a television series about vampires. Marilyn Manson attests that the lyrical content of the album will be "more romantic" yet "self-abusive." He also mentioned the album in an interview with Full Metal Jackie, where he stated that the album is halfway finished. On May 10, 2010, Manson updated the status of the band's Facebook page, declaring, "There is something coming, that is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me. More than simply an album."
