Heaven Upside Down is the upcoming tenth studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. The album was formerly titled Say10 and was scheduled for release Valentine's Day 2017, but missed its release date and was retitled for undisclosed reasons. The album is set for release this summer, and will be supported by the Heaven Upside Down Tour, which is due to start on July 20.
In November 2015, frontman Marilyn Manson announced in an interview with KEGL that he, along with Tyler Bates, Twiggy and Gil Sharone, had begun working on the band's tenth studio album. Its title and release date were revealed in July 2016 during an interview with Ryan J. Downey at the APMAs, after Manson had been presented with their Icon Award. However, he also stated in the same interview that Say10 was a "working title", implying that it could be altered before release. The title dates back to Manson's twelfth-grade Christian school yearbook.
As with previous album The Pale Emperor, Manson and Bates worked on Say10 while the latter was composing score material for US television series Salem; the third season of which features Manson as a recurring cast member, portraying a barber surgeon sociopath named Thomas Dinley. The band recorded parts of the album in Louisiana, where Manson was filming scenes for Salem. They had previously recorded their 1996 album Antichrist Superstar in the state. In September, Manson confirmed that they were "putting the finishing touches" on the record. In April 2017, Robert Carranza, who had mixed The Pale Emperor, announced that he had finished mixing the album. Brian Lucey, who also previously worked on The Pale Emperor, stated that mastering for Heaven Upside Down was completed during the end of June 2017.
