The latter addressed accusations of racism that had plagued Type O in their early days, a hangover from Peter’s time in Carnivore. Two songs on Bloody Kisses, the pounding Kill All The White People and We Hate Everyone, drew a line with the band’s hardcore-metal past. Type O’s music wasn’t just a racket from the crypt designed for goths and fetishists. We were going, ‘What the hell are we doing here?’ We were just four guys from Brooklyn, we weren’t living that lifestyle.” “There were people dressed up and walking around on leashes. “It was this underground BDSM place with all this torture equipment,” says Sal. At one point, the band were booked to play a club in New York that turned out to be a sex dungeon. The gigs started getting bigger – and weirder. And the band soon started attracting a lot of female fans because of it.” I remember there was a store in East Village that started selling all kinds of ruffled shirts and velvet jackets and shit. “It was around the time of that movie, Interview With The Vampire, and everything blew up after that. “The whole vampire allure connected with people,” says Sal. That non-existent goth metal scene had suddenly been willed into life. Amazingly, an edited version of the latter became a US radio hit, helping propel Bloody Kisses to Gold and then Platinum status in the US. It was followed by Christian Woman, eight minutes of quasi-religious erotica that found Steele intoning the line ‘Jesus Christ looks like me’ in his sonorous voice. Black No.1 (Little Miss Scare-All) was a sarcastic, multi-part 11-minute ode to a girlfriend who had wronged the singer, that came with Addams Family-style finger clicks. The album’s first two singles repositioned Type O at the forefront of a non-existent goth metal scene. The album, originally titled None More Negative and released in 1990 under the group’s former name Repulsion, launched the band’s career.(Image credit: Mick Hutson/Redferns/Getty Images)

Slow, Deep and Hard is their debut studio album, released in 1991 on Roadrunner Records. Type O Negative is an American goth-metal band formed in Brooklyn in 1989 by Peter Steele (lead vocals, bass), Kenny Hickey (guitar, backing vocals), Josh Silver (keyboards, backing vocals), and Sal Abruscato (drums, percussions), who was later replaced by Johnny Kelly. According to guitarist Kenny Hickey, Steele based a riff of “Gravitational Constant: G = 6.67 x 10 – 8 cm – 3 gm – 1 sec – 2” (later known as “Gravity”) from the theme song of the 1964 American sitcom The Munsters. In keeping with the band’s notable humor, the album’s cover artwork is a blurred image of sexual penetration. Slow, Deep and Hard is a semi-autobiographical album with heavy amounts of black humor, based on a failed relationship in which the vocalist/bass guitarist Peter Steele was involved. The album has a rawness that was prominent in Peter Steele’s previous band, Carnivore, but it incorporates elements that became standard for Type O Negative, merging styles including doom metal, gothic rock, new wave and industrial music. The album, originally titled None More Negative and released in 1990 under the group’s former name Repulsion, launched the band’s career.
