(s)AINT

(S)AINT WAS THE LAST VIDEO RELEASE FROM THIS ALBUM AND ALSO COINCIDED WITH THE RELEASE OF THE BEST OF ALBUM A YEAR LATER "LEST WE FORGET"
THIS REMAINS ONE OF MARILYN MANSON'S MOST CONTROVERSIAL MUSIC VIDEOS EVER, FUNDED BY HIMSELF AND SHOT IN A HOTEL OVER A FEW DAYS. DIRECTED BY MARILYN MANSON AND ASIA ARGENTO, THE VIDEO SHOWS A VERY CONCENTRATED LOOK INTO THE DEPTHS OF MARILYN MANSON WHILE ALSO CONTINUING THEMES OF THE GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE. INTERSCOPE RECORDS INITIALLY BANNED THE VIDEO FROM BEING RELEASED SO MARILYN MANSON RELEASED IT HIMSELF VIA HIS WEBSITE.

DOPPELHERZ

DOPPELHERZ WAS CREATED DURING THE CREATION OF THE ALBUM "THE GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE", A LIST OF COLLABORATORS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC, VISUALS, STYLES AND ARTWORK ALL CAME TOGETHER FOR THE THIS SHORT FILM.
THE FILM HAS ONLY EVER BEEN RELEASED BY THE INITIAL "THE GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE" CD RELEASE WHERE FOR A LIMITED TIME IT WAS PACKAGED WITH A BONUS DVD, BEING THE FILM. THE LYRICS ARE LAID DOWN STRAIGHT FROM THE MIND OF MARILYN MANSON, SOME APPEAR ALSO ON THE ALBUM AND SOME WOULD APPEAR YEARS LATER ON FOLLOWING ALBUMS. VISUALLY THE FILM CONNECTS STRAIGHT INTO THE ALBUM AND THE THEMATICS SHOWN THROUGH THE ALBUM ARTWORK.
