So many people don’t understand how good this band was. Sure, they had a propensity for overproduction, but every album got better than the previous one

This is 12 year old son’s favorite band. They never made a bad album.

Peter Steele had one of the most unique voices I've ever heard. Type O put out so many awesome, emotional tracks.

People correcting you that it’s not doom metal is the most Reddit thing ever.

I just recently discovered these guys after hearing "Black No. 1" in a Spotify playlist, awesome band.

Black No. 1 is the song all the goth strippers I’ve ever seen dance to.

Bloody Kisses is by far my favourite Type O Negative album. The range of the album is great

Blew my 16 year old mind when it came out, and then I realized the hot lesbians on the cover made me feel...things. lol

listened to the album at least 100x. 20 of them on a tape deck which was damaged and speed it up 30% (it felt). was epic :)

Type O was a slow burn for me. I listened to them as a teenager and never really stopped being a fan over the years since then. But I've come to enjoy their music more and more as I've gotten older. Not a bad album in their catalog.

Discovered them late one night on an alternative rock FM station on Long Island... circa 1993-94?

Awesome album... thanks for the memories!

I love learning about niche bands from BB back when I should have been listening to this stuff, but didn't know about it for various reasons.

Halloween season, baby 🎃 🦇 👻 🩸 🐺

I love type o negative. Their music is so cool and atmospheric and a lot of their lyrics are lowkey hilarious if you pay close attention to them. “Blood and Fire” is another great one off that album. RIP Peter Steel.

I remember when Christian Woman was number one on my local rock station’s nightly countdown for a few weeks in a row. I think NIN closer finally unseated it. Damn, those were the days.

I remember seeing Type-O opening for NIN at the Warfield in SF. Fucking absurd night.

Gothic Doom Metal, I felt it would make the title too long though

Scarbbluffs t1_itgnsjx wrote

Spotify says "goth metal" in their description. Wikipedia says Goth Metal, Doom Metal and Gothic Rock

BredBunny t1_ith4qc3 wrote

Gothic metal is basically a subgenre of doom metal +the scene first started as a death metal/doom metal crossover before developing its own sound and becoming its own genre.

Glad I got to see them in concert once.
