This is me after spinning October Rust.
I don't know what the fuck I would do without this splendid music that we all love here. Be it Katatonia, be it Mayhems and Darkthrones, or be it Type O Negatives (metal core punks fuck-off!).
It's in the face of such greatness that I realize there's reason to go on: wake up, do the work, love the family, and hit the record store. Yeah, it's that simple. This music of ours gives back ten fold, and you know it.
Type O is a big part of my life, and will always be. As big as I am, I wept like a punk when Peter died. I knew I lost something irreplaceable there and then. The thought that there isn't going to be any more of that magic they created is still killing me to this day.
This is the first time I've played a Type O record since Peter passed. I just couldn't listen to any after that.
This boxset thing is a great opportunity to go back and feel the love, the hate, the sorrow, the grooves, the happiness, the humor and sarcasm and the "strange beautiful music" that Type O Negative has blessed me with.
I know it's a Katatonia forum but I had to let it out.
Yeah, I don't have people to talk to about this shit. It's why I'm here, right?
