Wes Borland joins Marilyn Manson

Wes Borland, enigmatic ex-guitarist of Limp Bizkit (with brief attachments to Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle and most recently, Black Light Burns) has found his way to alternative metal band Marilyn Manson. Borland is joining the band, hurrah!

Here's what Manson had to say about Borland at a recent press conference:

“We have a new guitar player that’s gonna play for the first time tomorrow; it’s the first time we’ll play onstage [together]. His name is Wes Borland and he used to be in a really terrible band that he left because he felt that it was a destructive force in art.”

Despite all the excitement this news is creating, many fans trust that Borland's persona fits right in with the dudes of Marilyn Manson. Bassist Twiggy Ramirez has also rejoined the band for the Manson's forthcoming North American tour.

Look forward to this new lineup in their seventh studio album, which is currently slated for a December 2008 release.
