From Blabbermouth.net:

According to MansonUSA.com, the track listing has been finalized for the new MARILYN MANSON album, "Eat Me, Drink Me", tentatively due on June 5. It is as follows:

01. If I Was Your Vampire
02. Putting Holes in Happiness
03. The Red Carpet Grave
04. They Said Hell Is Not Hot
05. Just a Car Crash Away
06. Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)
07. Evidence
08. Are You the Rabbit?
09. Mutilation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery
10. You and Me and The Devil Makes 3
11. EAT ME, DRINK ME

Note: The title track will appear in all capital letters.

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.

I really enjoyed his early work and have been disapointed with almost everything since Anti-Christ Superstar, although from what I've read it sounds as though this album will have a more Bahaus feel to it, which is never a bad thing.

I read he claims the one single on this will be the new "Bela Lugosi's Dead", which is a pretty bold statement.

Intriguing.

>> Marilyn Manson in video controversy

Marilyn Manson has become caught in a controversy over his video for new single 'Heart-Shaped Glasses (When The Heart Guides The Hand)'.

The controversial star has yet confirm or deny the rumours that he is having real sex with real life girlfriend Rachel Even Wood in the clip.

A source told Radar magazine that the couple didn't fake the scene. Manson said: "Let's just say there were some conservative people involved (with the video) that got a little upset about things that were taking place, and there's been rumours back and forth, but I will not confirm or deny them."

The sex scene depicts Manson and Wood violently kissing while writhing around locked in a passionate embrace, making purposeful love. In another scene Wood seductively massages her nether regions while watching Manson's onstage performance.

The singer told MTV: "Anyone who is lazy or, I guess, has the lack of depth to expect (a video from me) to be shocking and then say it's not shocking, is essentially the same as saying your partner is bad in bed when you're a masturbator...I think it's one of those 'buyer beware' situations. You can't be mad at me when you know what you're asking for."

The video can be viewed below, but is listed as being only suitable for viewers who are over 16 years old. <<

Here's the pre-order listing for the album, BTW:



>> Four years since his last studio album, and following up on his highest charting radio single ever ("Personal Jesus", from Lest We Forget), Marilyn Manson returns with "Eat Me, Drink me". Art openings, soundtrack appearances, and personal circumstance have grabbed headlines for Manson in recent months, setting the stage for the release of Eat Me, Drink Me, which is unquestionably the artist's most personal statement yet. Always the provocateur, in what may be the ultimate subversion of the code of aggro-rock, the songs are immediately catchy - all jagged guitar hooks, anthemic choruses, with an overlying glam-rock sheen. Lyrically Manson has never been more riveting, seemingly having enough to draw from in his own life and from society at large to present a fresh, snarling vision. <<

We need to make more 'purposeful' love...

Rock artist Marilyn Manson has identified Meiwes as inspirational in the titling of his album, (due to be released June 5, 2007), Eat Me, Drink Me. Manson explained in an article what this story meant to 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."[5]
