The two flawlessly complement each other, much like Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley did during Alice In Chain‘s glory days. Peter Steele‘s voice is unlike anything you have ever heard, and when he harmonizes with guitarist Kenny Hickey the result is hauntingly beautiful. Type O Negative‘s sound is filled with Black Sabbath D.N.A., with just the right balance of The Door‘s, The Cure and the Sunday church lady playing away on her organ. I discovered them about two years ago when I was in a metal funk, just tired of everything, and their signature brooding sound breathed new life into my taste in music. Now Type O Negative is definitely an acquired taste, but this band is unbelievably underrated and everybody should at least give them a chance. 1”, “Kill All The White People”, “Some Stupid Tomorrow”, “Halloween In Heaven” and a snippet of “Ode To Locksmiths”.
The crowd was treated to “Prelude To Agony”, “World Coming Down”, “Kill You Tonight”, “Christian Woman”, “Black No. Known for 10 minute long masterpieces, Type O Negative usually can only get through a handful of songs before the show unfortunately has to end. Since Type O Negative was the first headliner, which by the way makes no sense giving top billing to Hatebreed, they only had a little over an hour to wow the crowd, but they did just that. However, second place belongs to Type O Negative, whose completely original catalogue of tunes where delivered strikingly close to studio quality. Out of the 140 concerts I have attended only one band sounds exactly the same live as they do on their albums and that is Rush. The scene was quite different having gone from an arena and pyrotechnics to a small club with nothing more than a band genuinely enjoying themselves, and working their tails off for a much obliged audience. Below, Heafy recounts the awesomely painful first time he ever saw Type O Negative perform live, the best Type O song for new listeners and more.TYPE O NEGATIVE JAGERMEISTER MUSIC TOUR 2008īand Website: ‘The Drab 4’ known as Type O Negative gave a rather positive performance making yesterday’s Friday The 13th perfectly ghoulish.Īfter seeing such a grandiose Iron Maiden concert a mere 48 hours ago, Type O Negative had very big shoes to fill, but the self-deprecating band absolutely blew me away leaving me so hyper and hungry for more I was resembling a kid in a candy store. Among those is Trivium frontman Matt Heafy, who also has some prized personal memories of Steele and his band. Type O left the world with so many great songs that continue to inspire generations of gloom-loving, heavy-music fans.
Sadly, their influential career was cut short by the untimely death of Steele in 2010 - but the Drab Four's legacy carries on. From their 1991 debut, Slow, Deep and Hard to 1993 breakout Bloody Kisses to their 2007 swan song Dead Again, frontman Peter Steele and the band cast a long shadow with their haunting music and inimitable, imposing presence. They were four Brooklyn dudes who sprung up out of the city's extreme hardcore scene and evolved into legit (if tongue-and-cheek) goth-metal icons. There was no one quite like Type O Negative. Revolver has teamed with Type O Negative for limited-edition colored vinyl pressings of the band's classic albums plus a new Type O collector's issue and exclusive official band merch.
