Marilyn Manson has announced details of the opening leg of his "Rape The World" tour, which will see him reunited with Twiggy Ramirez.

The North American leg of the charmingly-titled global jaunt kicks-off with a date in Florida later this month and follows a series of European dates in 2007.

The shock-rocker has also confirmed that estranged bass player Ramirez has rejoined his touring group, following their acrimonious split in 2002.

In a statement, Marilyn Manson commented: "The duo that started it all, are back together to finish where they left off.

"The two who co-wrote 'Antichrist Superstar', 'Mechanical Animals' and 'Holy Wood' will be sharing the stage once again."

The tour, which supports last year's "Eat Me, Drink Me" album, calls at the following venues:
