Born in 1948, in the aftermath of World War II, Helnwein deeply understands the traumas inflicted on society by the war. His works, characterized by taboo subjects, are both frightening, disturbing, and mesmerizing.

When I reviewed Iron Maiden’s Senjutsu in September, I remember saying it was too early to label this or that as the best metal album of the year, although I am a great Iron Maiden fan.
