Marilyn Manson has been dropped by his record label Interscope after his last album flopped. The High End of Low performed poorly in the U.S. charts - selling just 121,000 copies to date - prompting Interscope bosses to wield the axe.
However, the shock rocker, who recently reunited with his ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, is feeling upbeat about the firing.
He reveals he's already working on a new album he promises will be more outrageous than ever, now he's free from the shackles of a major label.
Manson tells Metal Hammer, "We've just been released from our record contract with Interscope so I think a lot of the creative control on which my hands were tied on a lot of choices - the music videos - things like that (has been regained)."
"I was so restrained from the music that I wanted to make - what they would allow; they would put out, what ideas they would allow to be conveyed in these videos. At least half of my creative output has been squashed, so now I think people can expect a whole lot more."
