Type O Negative may be known now as an atmospheric doom metal outfit, but before going Gothic Peter Steele and company released this classic thrash album that smacked more of Peter's old band Carnivore than the band that recorded "Bloody Kisses" and "October Rust."
TYPE O NEGATIVE's Bloody Kisses is #1. Roadrunner's commentary reads as follows: "Brooklyn goth act Type O Negative may have warned fans not to "mistake lack of talent for genius" on the back cover, but there is no denying that the band found their footing with this 1993 magnum opus - and first Roadrunner album to achieve Gold status.
The accompanying song is an extremely long version of the Seals and Crofts cover from "Bloody Kisses", displaying in a longer fashion Steele's unique ability to twist a pop/rock song into something that is extremely spooky sounding. Rest in Peace Petrus Thomas Ratajczyk , 1962 - 2010 . You would be 60 years old now.
"I discovered Type O Negative in the early 90s, around the time Bloody Kisses came out. All of us in Hangman's Chair have a hardcore background, so we really appreciate how they were able to move into the goth thing from a similar hardcore punk/metal background. I really connected with them - and still do today.
