MarilynManson has spoken exclusively to Kerrang! About his bandТs upcoming newstudio album, The High End of Low. The 15-Track record sees Mansonreunited with former bassist and writing partner Twiggy Ramirez Ц wholeft the band in 2002 citing creative differences Ц and producer SeanBeaven (Nine Inch Nails, Slayer) who recorded the bandТs 1996breakthrough album, Antichrist Superstar. Tracks set to appear on therelease include I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies,Arma-goddamn-motherfucking-geddon, Devour, Four Rusted Horses, albumcloser 15, and WeТre From America, which was made available as a freedownload from the bandТs site www.marilynmanson.com, earlier this week.
WeТre From America is the first track fans will hear from the album, can you give us more details about the song?
УIthink a lot of people will hear the track and initially think itТs justpolitical, but itТs not just that, itТs also me describing a lot offucked-up scenarios that IТm going through in my personal life. Someoneasked me, 'Why are you so fucked up?', СWell, I am from America.Т Ihate the fact that so many people have fucked the country up, and somany people fucked up my personal life and I allowed it to happen. Soin a way, I feel like America as a whole feels, but in no way does thatmake me a tree-hugging patriotic freedom rocker.Ф
What sound were you going for in the studio?
УIt was just to not worry so much about trying to be professional, or tryingto be anything. The guitar sounds like [TwiggyТs] dick when itТs hard.ThatТs why I describe the record as 'hard', not 'heavy'. Because ifyouТre going to have a music that is going to be called a СdickТ Цwould you want it to be heavy? ThatТs a burden. Or СhardТ Cos then youcould do things with it. The record comes across Ц no pun intended Цwith the confidence of someone who is cocksure Ц no pun intended. ItТscompletely unafraid of anything.
Were you concerned with what the record company would think of it?
УNo.At one point I told everyone, 'I donТt really care'. What are theygonna do? Return it? You gonna fire me? Call in some special police whocome down and yell at me. Did you forget what band you are dealingwith? The record companies seem only recently to be having some strangeconcern that I might be crazy. Really? I might be crazy? I think theyТre a little late on that one!Ф
How would you describe the overall attitude of the album?
УThisis not a record that we would leave black and self-titled and mature.This is the experienced record. This album is the 12th Grade guy thathas VD and did cocaine in high school, who has been arrested once andthe 9th Grade girl wants to fuck him.Ф
Does the album have a running concept or any specific themes?
УThesongs on this record are quite autobiographical, but theyТre also verymuch their own stories in the same sense as some of my earlier work onAntichrist Superstar. The songs are in the order in which they werewritten and sung. It was a story that took place and I didnТt reallyknow what it was going to be till it happened. I had to find out how itwas going to end in order to end the record. This album left manyscars, and I think they are good ones.Ф
Literal scars too?
УWell,I gave myself 158 scars in one day. It was me trying to prove a pointto someone Ц myself. It wasnТt like my years in the past ofself-mutilation, something to be hidden, or a type of compulsion. Thisis more like tattoos, 158 things that happened that day and I wantedremind myself.Ф
Are there any other reminders of the recordТs creation?
УIwrote all the lyrics on the wall of my room. It wasnТt to bedecorative; it was one of those things, like itТs the last thingsomeone sees before they put them somewhere else. I think it looksgood. And if anyone wants to come into this room and fornicate with me,I think they are a keeperЕ and when I say keeper, I mean kidnapping. Iam probably going to do most of the press for the record from my house,before I leave or destroy it, because you can see the story and whatthe record as made from within the house.Ф
How else did you document it?
УDuringthe whole process I took a lot of photos, so the artwork is a lot ofstorytelling and the way that the songs have turned out is more from mypoint of view rather than looking at me. Because I always wanted totake pictures, my house is set up like a movie set. Instead of lamps Ihave movie lights and smoke machines and things.Ф
Does the album also have a movie quality to it?
УYes.I really look at this record as a film, maybe because I sort ofdirected it. I stopped trying to conform regular life into the ideathat itТs regular life. Why isnТt it all just a movie? If people arewatching, theyТre watching me being an asshole or being boring orcreating something amazing. ThatТs just a part of the movie. It allowedme to be more creative.Ф
Are there any tracks in particular that surprised you or will surprise fans?
У15is track 15 on the album. ItТs the most important song I think thatТsbeen written by Marilyn Manson as an entity. ItТs the most unusual songI have ever heard. I thought that the album was done, as there is aglorious epic track [before that] that I think will make Twiggy foreverrecognised as a guitar hero. That felt like the end of the record, butwhat was happening in my life had not resolved itself. So on January 5,one five, I sung 15 and the lyrics will tell the story of that dayЕФ
Did finishing the record mark the end and a resolution of your problems
УIthink that my life definitely ended and began. The record sounds veryfinal, but itТs almost optimistic Ц thought that feels a strange wordto use. ItТs a phoenix from the fire and a redemption, resurrection.Ф
