Type O Negative - Black No.1
Type O Negative is a band from Brooklyn, New York. They are notable as one of the earliest successes in the gothdoom metal style, complete with distorted guitars, frequent keyboard use, and the low, operatic vocals of Peter Steele. In addition, the band shows a variety of non-goth influences, such as The Beatles sometimes referring to themselves in jest as the drab four. Despite a dramatic lyrical emphasis on themes of sex, romance, depression, and death, the band is also known for an irreverent and self-deprecating sense of humor. Their popularity grew in 1993 with the now-legendary album Bloody Kisses, which featured the provocative underground hits Christian Woman and Black No. 1 Little Miss Scare-All. Their most recent album is 2007s Dead Again.
