You can tell when something is being forced and trying to be something it isn’t. They see it as being sincere and real, and I think thats a part of rap culture, as it was a part of punk rock and real rock or whatever you wanna call anything. And I think that’s maybe what rappers like about me. That one song, ‘Love On The Brain’, it really hit me because I saw her perform it and she just… meant it. “Strangely enough, one of the records that influenced this album strongly, and it can’t be taken literally, is Rihanna, her last record. Manson also reveals how some of that enthusasiam came from a very unlikely source: Rihanna. It lives within me having the same enthusiasm, same fire, and the same intent and reckless abandon.” This record doesn’t have a persona or character.
In a new interview with Consequence of Sound’s Bryce Segall set for publication next month, Manson says, “I didn’t try to return to a sound I had before, but I definitely have the attitude I had before. While the “cinematic sonic palate” may sound as if Manson is revisiting early work like Portrait of an American Family and Holy Wood, that’s more the result of a shifting attitude than a concerted nostalgic effort. The 10-track LP reunites Manson with Pale Emperor composer/producer Tyler Bates. Now entitled Heaven Upside Down, the record has officially been announced for an October 6th due date via Loma Vista Recordings. Originally entitled SAY10, the album was initially supposed to be released this past Valentine’s Day, but was delayed so Manson could finish a few more tracks. Marilyn Manson revealed dates for his upcoming North American tour back in July, hinting that his follow-up to 2015’s The Pale Emperor was finally imminent.
