Marilyn Manson and Jonathan Davis Collaboration Could be Acoustic and ‘Southern Sounding’
Marilyn Manson and Korn frontman Jonathan Davis have been hinting at a collaboration.
In an interview with Metal Hammer, Manson said of their upcoming project,
“Jonathan and I used to be really close. We hadn’t seen each other in quite some time. Now he and I are talking about doing something completely unexpected together.”
In a recent Reddit AMA Session, Manson shared that the collaboration might be acoustic and "southern sounding".
A Reddit user praised Manson's acoustic material saying, "It sounds so raw. Is there a possibility of you recording an unplugged/acoustic album?"
Manson replied,
"Um...as a matter of fact, that's some of the plans, of the style of music that I'm working on right now.
I don't know what it'll turn into. Some of it will be with Jonathan Davis, I think. Because he has plans of doing something similar as well. Something that might even cross over the boundaries of being more Southern-sounding.
It is strange, when I think about it - I did record "Smells Like Children' in Mississippi, which is where the blues came from. So there might be something more acoustic and blues in my future.
I like the rawness of it.
I definitely like the rawness."
Manson also talked about a possible collaboration with Bill Corgan "while we're on the road together".
Manson's co-headling tour with Smashing Pumpkins kicks off July 7, hitting DTE Energy Music Theatre August 5.
