It's funny how blisteringly incorrect Page Six is in their quest for sensational gossip. They miss the big story when they stoop so low. The image in question isn't a shot from a deleted scene in the movie, and was never before censors, but a photograph taken by the brilliant Austrian artist, Gottfried Helnwein. It's reason enough to buy the CD, and reason entirely that WalMart won't carry the CD. ...

Einer erstellt die Summe seiner Beobachtungen in dieser Welt der Patzer und Dämonen. Er vernimmt die Schreie aus den gekachelten Schreckträumen abseits einer satten Gesellschaft, die weder mit dem Laub der Bäume noch mit dem Grün der Laubfrösche noch mit den Froschaugen des Miterlebens zu schaffen haben will. Er aber hört manche, die da schreien bis ihnen die Gehirne zerspringen wie Lichtjahre, und hört andere, still vor sich Hinweinende, deren tropfende Tränen eines noch-hoffens mit dem abscheulichen Eisskalpell der Hoffnungslosigkeit seziert werden. ...

Austrian born artist Gottfried Helnwein's work is also of exemplary value, beginning with bandage action events (documented by the artist appearing in cafe's and lying in the street with his "wounded" head and face bandaged). His work depicts physical injuries which are metaphors for far deeper existential, psychological and human tragedies. Medical injuries, facial deformities and abused children proliferate throughout his work evoking primary internal anxieties. The inhumane acts of violence (child abuse, war atrocities, state oppression) and frightening images of familial estrangement that are presented in his work, constitute events which are preferred forgotten, like the nazi era, or preferred left unspoken such as familial traumas like child abuse. Helnwein also conducts a probing analysis of the individual and the self through an abundance of self portraits, each obscured by hideous facial bandages, his facial muscles, lips and eyes are stretched apart, torturingly, by varied medical instruments, now made famous by the Rammstein covers. All his images in some way evoke associations with mutilation, anguish or internal alienation. The works (frequently paintings appearing remarkably like photographs), boldly put forward social unacceptabilities never before portrayed so lucidly and so confrontingly. The many intensities produced in the work are profoundly disturbing, the impressions - uncomfortably eerie, electrocuting the eyes with a rush of haunting spatiality. ...
