Marilyn Manson drummer Chris Vrenna has left the band.
The former Nine Inch Nails drummer, who performs on the band's forthcoming eight studio album 'Born Villain', has said in an official statement: ""I'm incredibly proud of the work I did with Manson and look forward to the release of 'Born Villain.' I wish my brothers well but with the recording largely completed I felt it was time to return to other facets of my career which involves production work, film scoring, and future musical collaborations".
It is believed that Vrenna will focus on DJing and continue composing scores for films and video games.
'Born Villain' will be released in February 2012.
