WTF are you listening to?

[Ellestin]

also has the distinct feel of one of the millions of flavor-of-the-week bands you come across and you're like "oh that's neat" but when it all comes down the line* lacks the je ne sais quoi to be remembered in a year

that's a fair and accurate assessment

which is why I ordered the album after half a listen

 

[Reign in Acai]

 

[Hell Mike]

 

[Ellestin]

Awesome sound

 

[Krilons Resa]

Looks like my son drew that album art.

 

[Hell Mike]

your son is badass

 

[Krilons Resa]

I’d say so!

 

[einride]

again on a type o negative binge, man these guys were so fucking good. and i appreciate them now probably more than i did twenty years ago but for entirely different reasons



check this fuckin demo out. how fucking absolutely capital D doom is this shit? dude

You know, i always wondered if those two chicks on the cover were porn stars, groupies, wives, whores, whatever.

I never cared to do research though. Mostly because they are now almost 30 years older and perhqps beyond MILFdom

oh and of course i randomly found the answer to this in a random youtube comment section

hope this helps dude

thanks bro.

i was genuinely upset when Pete died. I love all their records and followed them from October Rust to the end. Check out some of the songs on The Least Worst Of. That comp is killer.

I havent checked out the post TON bands...A Pale Horse Named Death from the two ex drummers. And Seventh Void and Silvertomb from the guitarist. Ive heard those two bands are pretty good.

The keyboardist became an EMT, afaik

A lot of people don’t realize that they used a drum machine on October Rust, WCD, and Life is Killing Me. Pretty crazy shit, they really pulled it off. Apparently Peter performed a lot of the guitars on those albums as well.

I am still genuinely upset that Peter Steele died.

I didn't find out about the drum machine thing until some years after that and was pretty surprised. I mean '90s drum machines are usually a dead giveaway to anyone but nope, they pulled it off indeed.

Songs like Everyone I Love Is Dead take on entirely new emotions when you start to age and lose loved ones.

Some bands age poorly, some maintain their luster, but Type O Negative get better with time.

 

[NAD]

Josh and Peter were 18 and/or 19 when they recorded this song.

Absolutely blows me away.

Spire has a new one out--atmospheric bm from Australia. Really liking this one--reminds me of a french style of bm mixed in with some of the theatrical vocals of A forest of stars with a ton of dynamics. I know the new Beverast album is getting a lot of attention (it's great--not amazing) but really this is one of the better tracks i've heard this year so far:

 

[Krilons Resa]

Ugh, Are you guys really gonna make me check out Type O Negative for 3,392,734th time?

 

[NAD]

Didn't you just try a few months ago with the same MEH result?

The key to understanding The Drab Four is their sense of humoUr.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yep.

just listened to the first few songs of October Rust and remembered why I threw the cassette away in high school.

 

[NAD]

lol. Meanwhile my gothic girl teenaged self made a 3D video using Love You to Death in my high school computer class. This was in 1996 when Flash was some hot new shit. Macromedia, motherfucker!

 

[J.]

HA! the wallpaper in my college computer class was the thorns on October Rust

 

[MFJ]

"Anthems to the Welkin At Dusk" and "In The Nightside Eclipse" half-speed LP remasters. I was ready to talk shit on this pressing but they actually sound amazing.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Some fine tune tappin on a Monday Evening.
