![]() ![]() Quoted as "Picking up where Bloody Good Kisses left off, the album explored themes of sex and sensuality in even more meticulous detail, leaving the listener in a state of perpetual sonic orgasm." The album contained songs such as “Love You to Death”, “Be My Daffodill”, “Green (with envy of your new love) Man”, “Die With Me My Love”, and “Haunted By Our Sex” all combined sex, rock, sweaty love, new wave, and industrial sex toys, mixed with huggy rich and beautiful harmonies, as if the Beatles were recording “Abbey Road” in a brothel.Īfter another successful world tour, Steele's family members continually seemed to have affairs which dragged his obtuse obsession with sex into a new dark place. ![]() Combined with the constant orgasmic sounds of their bass player as he recorded while being bummed they single handedly revived animal sex in music!įor those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about Type O Negative.Ĭontinuing after pressure from their record company they went on to produce an album that would define their career. The Beatles proved to be an accurate reference point, as they incorporated the psychedelic fur cuts and clothing styles of the legendary sixties rockers mid-period work. Upon its release mid 1993, critics and fans alike were left flabbergasted: The cuddly love-ins and smart sexy lyrics from the first album was all but gone, the band instead making their sound more to the point about the trials and tribulations of their gay relationships. It was recorded live at Brighton Beach although the band re-did much of it as the crowd heckled them, wanting more metal style hate music (as that is what the band were accidentally advertised as). This LP was entirely written about the famous band The Faces that the band were sexually and emotionally in love with (they often masterbated to Faces posters onstage). It all came from Steele saying the band were 'sexier than the The Beatles' spoofing John Lennon's misquoted 'bigger than Jesus' quote. Their first tour also landed the band into a lot of trouble, especially in Europe, where political leaders labeled them Nazis and Hitler sympathizers after one member performed a sexual act on a Hitler doll in a dramamtic love scene on stage. The lead guitar lines 'kissing the bass cuddles like two impossibly large furry animals hugging' as it was described by the Washington Post. Slow Deep & Hard was just that full of sexually explicit lyrics delivered under a veil of soft cute pop melodies and romantic rythmns. Never has an album title so aptly described the lyrics to be found therein. Type O Negative signed a five album record deal, and in 1991, released their debut, Slow, Deep & Hard. ![]() they released a demo which caught the ear of Roadrunner Records - the premiere label for love and sex rock bands in the late eighties/early nineties. In 1989, after two years of beautifying hedges Edward Scissorhands style in Prospect Park, he was forced out of retirement by long time boyfriend, Sally Abruscato, Type O Negative’s original drummer. They sounded like a cross between a packet of Malteasers and the beating of the heart of Romeo and Juliet alluring speed metal grooves mixed in with soft-core break downs and massive Cliff Richard-esk sing-alongs.įollowing their second album, “Retaliation Against Hate”, Carnivore had a break, as Pete Steele (their singer, and cutest member) decided to pursue a noble and beautiful job at New York City Department of Parks. The band’s lyrics were soft and very loved-up, dealing with sex, love, cuddles, and marriage - topics most bands would not dare cover. Carnivore spent much of the mid-eighties flirting with concert goers at various venues in and around the East Coast, including the legendary CBGB’s on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. ![]()
