MARILYN MANSON has set "Eat Me, Drink Me" as the title of his new solo album, according to a posting on his official web site.

The shock-rocker is currently putting the finishing touches on the CD, which is tentatively due this spring. A world tour will follow.

In an October 2005 interview with MTV.com, Manson described the music that he was working on for the follow-up to 2003's "The Golden Age of Grotesque" as the "most guitar-driven" and "most original that I've heard created. This record has a very unpleasant attitude toward itself, and I expect it to be — without sounding like someone who says this every time they make a record — something above and beyond and different — sonically, emotionally — than anything I've done."
