On June 25, Fred Sablan confirmed he had left the band on good terms. On September 3, Manson confirmed that the new album is "prepared for landing", indicating that production for the album had been completed.

Manson's most recent studio album, Born Villain was released on May 1, 2012, via Cooking Vinyl. That album went on to reach No. 10 on the US Billboard 200 Albums chart. It features his singles "No Reflection" and "Slo-Mo-Tion."
