DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Picture Disc Of 1996 Rock / Goth LP - 30th anniversary, October Rust marked the fourth full-length from goth metal legends Type O Negative, while serving as the highly anticipated follow up to the 1993 career-height Bloody Kisses.
Notable for its markedly less doom metal funereal gloom approach when considering both prior and subsequent works, the album has retained a devout following while being credited by many latecomers as their true introduction to the band, due to the extensive airplay awarded to the plethora of unabashed ballads and more accessible goth rock bangers such as hit single 'My Girlfriend's Girlfriend' as well as the much-adored rendition of Neil Young's 'Cinnamon Girl'. For those with an awareness of the Type O Negative greatness but intimidated by the prowess, hair or jawline of the incomparable lovesick giant that was the late, great Peter Steele, October Rust remains the ideal entry-point, offering a macabre selection of enduring, synthy gothic melancholia with the band's signature menace still serrating the edges of the sonic experience. The 30th anniversary also coincides with this Rocktober 2026 reissue edition as part of Rhino Records' annual celebration.

Last FM Information on Type O Negative

Type O Negative was a gothic metal / doom metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York, US in 1990. They are well known for their dry, morbid and ironic sense of humor and their often slow and brooding music. "The Drab Four" (the nickname Type O Negative gave themselves) always succeeded in keeping their own unique style, mixing melodic, classic rock 'n' roll with slow, doom-like vibes, and down-tuned heavy metal guitar riffs with dark soundscapes. They were also known for doom metal riffs, deep bass lines, heavy but usually slow drums and bass-range vocals of gothic metal. Lead singer Peter Steele described their music as "bad songs written on a Tuesday night."
The two main influences on the band are the Beatles and Black Sabbath, and keyboardist Josh Silver has expressed a love of Pink Floyd--evidence of which can be heard in the atmospherics of his production techniques.
The band arose from the ashes of the band Carnivore and gained popularity with their songs "Black No. 1" and "Christian Woman" from the Bloody Kisses album. The album was the first in Roadrunner Records' catalog to go both gold and platinum. They have successfully toured with Pantera, Life of Agony, and dozens of other established and up-and-coming bands, as well as taking part in Ozzfest. The band had VHS and DVD documentary releases in addition to their CD releases and contributions to movie soundtracks and compilations.
Steele died of sepsis caused by diverticulitis (initially reported as heart failure) on April 14 2010 at the age of 48.
