That is a Pungent Stench record, very good death grind.
The man behind the band Hollenthon is a member.
The picture was aquired (read: stolen
) from the book "Gods Of Earth And Heaven" by Joel Peter Witkin.
He's a photographer that specialises in making beauty out of things that would otherwise be deemed disgusting and abhorrent. His usual subject matter is corpses, transexuals, the hugely obese, body parts, aborted fetuses, freaks, amputees, etc, etc. The prints are also hugely expensive, as I found out several years ago at an exhibition in London.
The picture used by Pungent Stench is called "The Kiss" and is probably Witkin's most contravertial image. There is only one head in the photo, but he's split it down the back and twisted it around to give the appearance of a "Kiss".
I'd recommend the book titled "Witkin" which you should be able to get from Amazon. It features much of his work along with interviews and essays. It ain't cheap though...
