![]() ![]() Like the band’s introductory album, it’s a raw mix of the genres that made up their previously release. Unlike the record’s title, however, it’s anything but shit. The next release was the hilariously titled, The Origin of the Feces. ![]() Those would become hallmarks of the band’s music. ![]() If you want a track that sums it up perfectly, just listen to the 12-minute opener “Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity.’’ It has snarl, velocity and crosses a variety of genres, starting with thrash, before making excursions into doom, with acoustic guitars and funeral organs as well. They would embrace their New Wave elements as well, and their dark melodies gave music a crossover appeal but Slow, Deep and Hard was, like the blurred out sexual act shown on the album’s cover, quite raw and tenacious. Type O Negative’s music was as haunting as a cemetery at night – and beautifully so. The record contains thrash and death metal elements along with the along with the New Wave, Gothic metal and doom stylings that later predominate their sound. And, in this writer’s humble opinion, one of the most fascinating band’s to hit the scene.ĭebut album, Slow, Deep and Hard, released by Roadrunner Records in 1991, isn’t the best of their impressive bunch, but it’s fascinating nonetheless. However, back to my original point: Type O were on an island unto themselves. Other lyrical themes would include doomed romance and sex, which would explain why Steele was considered somewhat of a sex symbol and romantic anti-hero among the band’s large female (and male) fan base (he also had an impressively large schlong and posed for Playgirl). Formed in 1989 in Brooklyn, New York, the band – comprising of Peter Steele (lead vocals, bass), Kenny Hickey (guitar, backing vocals), Josh Silver (keyboards, backing vocals), and Sal Abruscato (drums, percussions), who was later replaced by Johnny Kelly – were given the nickname of the “Drab Four’’ due to the depressing and nihilistic nature of their lyrics, even though they were often peppered with a sense of gallows humour.
