Marilyn Manson spoke recently with the Los Angeles Times. While the bulk of the conversation centered around his upcoming role as ‘Thomas Dinley in season 3 of ‘Salem‘ (which premieres November 02nd,) the topic also shifted towards his new album “Say10“. He intends to release that effort in February and said of it:
“…My next album’s called “Say10,” like Satan. I found that title in my 12th-grade yearbook at Christian school. It goes back that far. The record is very political, socially and sexually. It deals with things I’ve talked about a lot but may not have sung enough. I work best when I combine imagery and words, rather than just words alone. Acting reminded me of that.”
When asked if the political aspects of it would extend to the upcoming American election, he replied:
“It’s lyrically ambiguous. I wanted it to be something anyone could interpret. People hear songs that I think are angry as sexy. Or weird songs that I think are sexy as violent. This album, if it were blamed for any problems on life, I intentionally am asking for it because I think art needs to shake …[stuff] up. That’s what I‘ve always thought. I just needed a little reminder, and that was this [election].”
