Adding to Dante and Matthew Barney, Patrik Andersson explores the grand themes of life, death and transition in his fast-cut creation myth.  Merging a fashion and music video to a high-art level, he suggests that just as we were born and mothered into this life, so must we be reborn and mothered into the next.  And these are the sexiest mothers that ever visited purgatory, writhing and supplicating, helping souls to find their way, lending their maternity for rebirth into the next world.

Hollywood Undead’s start was hardly momentous. In 2005, two Los Angeles friends, Deuce and J-Dog, collaborated on a few tracks and decided to post them online. But soon, interest started circulating, prompting the guys to form Hollywood Undead with Charlie Scene, Da Kurlzz, Funny Man and Johnny 3 Tears. Originally, the band also included Shady Jeff, but he left the group before their debut dropped in 2008.
