Marilyn Manson leaves Interscope

Marilyn Manson has revealed that his band has left record company Interscope.

The group had been with the label's Nothing subsidiary since their 1994 debut Portrait of an American Family and released two further albums with Interscope after Nothing's dissolution in 2004.

Manson told 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.

"The first example is the newest video, they clearly wouldn't have allowed me to make that video. So we started writing new songs on the road - a bit like Aladdin Sane - I think people can expect a new record a lot sooner."

He added: "You'd be surprised how much restraint my creativity had which ended up often times in my life, not want to make music because 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.... I think it will be more badass , I think it's going to be more romantic maybe. Self abusive."
