It set the bar for goth metal and created a framework for all other bands to emulate. It is great music to fuck to.įor anyone interested in Type O, this is the album you must own.

The mystical aire and wonder of this song provides the background for a tale about an unfaithful lover. The crunchy riffing evokes shades of the industrial movement despite the fact that this one is pure metal. Steele’s vocal delivery is perfect here and the keyboard melody certainly drives the song. Another fan favorite, “ Christian Woman,” certainly helped them build their fan base. Type O manages to perfect the goth sound while rebuking it at the same time in their lyrics. Distorted guitar, cheese saturated keys and an ominous mood get the job done well. “ Blood and Fire” is a perfect example of gothic rock taken to its logical conclusion. The sitar is reminiscent of later era Beatles of which the band has a particular interest in. “ Can’t Lose You” is one of the more overlooked songs on the album. You paid money to see us so who really sucks?” This is a band greeted by chants of “You Suck!” at all of their New York shows, only to respond with “Fuck You. His lyrics reflect spoofs of his own personal emotions. Steele is obviously making fun of the hardcore gothic scenseters and rivetheads who plague the shows. The only other band that even comes close is Cradle of Filth. The wit this band possesses is almost unmatched in music today. Without Steele there would be little that separates Type O from the slew of goth bands out there. His vocals can range from 80’s era hair style, to thrash to his famous cheesy vampire style. While Kenny Hickey does sing a significant portion of the music, Steele writes most of it. The overriding force behind their music are the dramatic vocals of Peter Steele. The thrash style is still evident on cuts like “ Kill all the White People” and “ We Hate Everyone.” Cuts like “ Set me on Fire” and a cover of Seals and Croft’s “ Summer Breeze” show their more melodic side. Their first album basically dispelled the last remnants of Peter Steele’s first band Carnivore. Adding more harmonies and pop melodies propelled the goth metal into a new level. This album is a sharp contrast to their first one. 1” video and relentless touring earned them a platinum album. After playing to two sellout shows at their old haunt, the L’amour nightclub in Brooklyn (which was immortalized on their first album), they proved that no matter how big they get they will still have soft spot for the fans they first tortured when they began.īloody Kisses is the album that they built their fan base on. Their combination of satire, humor and skill easily created one of the most unique bands ever. After 14 years, it is safe to say that the latter proved true. People wondered for years whether Type O Negative were the best joke that had ever been played on the Goth scene (and their own label) or just a group of amazingly talented musicians with a twisted sense of humor.
