The official
Marilyn Manson website has once again revamped
its site to reflect the state of the band and the
new album. Tilted 'The Golden Age of Grotesque', Manson
offered an article on himself regarding the new album
that he posted to his BBS portion of the site.
Found also in Manson's
site journal, the frontman mentions more on the new
image, new sound 'agit-prop' and more. "My band I
are going to give you a peep of what it looks and
sounds like. Check the news for more agit-prop and
first thing tomorrow, you will get a taste of this
site's transformation."
We have entered 'The
Golden Age of Grotesque'
Marilyn Manson has returned
to crash the ether with a wit-savage shape, painting
us a depraved new world disorder on his fifth studio
album titled, 'The Golden Age Of Grotesque.' Manson
is currently in the studio and is expecting a fall
release on Interscope Records. Even at such an early
stage, the focus of the music's aggressive transformation
is fashioned and fearless.
The nearly completed
collection of songs is being orchestrated by the theatrical
production team of Manson, Tim Skold and Ben Gross.
The result is what Marilyn Manson describes as his
"most genius deluge of hardcore guitar-drum violence
and reckless electronic-punk vaudeville mixed with
30s cabaret decadence and Arch-dandy dada. These snot-nose
stompalongs will convince the finger-waving, faithless
bangsters one thing for sure. We can only become what
we really are when we no longer believe what others
have convinced us to be. We won't follow religion,
we are one. And the understanding of my art is only
the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art."
On his influences, Manson
had this to say, "My inspiration for this record came
from historic parallels to my own present position
in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated
with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved
artistic chaos that just bled from some of history's
greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme
peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity
that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost
mirror today's less violent, but equally ignorant
censorship and fear of 'dangerous’' art."
As a close to his speech,
Manson added this: "So stand up dopplegangers, we
are on a leave of Absinthe! Our lives are theatre,
we are the art and the world will now become the beautifully
grotesque stage it was always meant to be. Am I just
an innocuous entertainer or am I the destructive force
and the terrible reality you’ve suspected all along?
The simple answer is,
I am Marilyn Manson."
Thanks a lot
