Type O Negative
Type O Negative was an American gothic doom metal band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 1989. The band was formed by vocalist and bassist Peter Steele, guitarist Kenny Hickey, keyboardist Josh Silver, and drummer Sal Abruscato, who was later replaced by Johnny Kelly. Their lyrical emphasis on themes of addiction, death, depression, religion, romance, and sex resulted in the nickname "the Drab Four", which is in homage to the Beatles' "Fab Four" moniker. The band went platinum with Bloody Kisses (1993) and gold with October Rust (1996), and gained a substantial cult following through seven studio albums, two best-of compilations, and concert DVDs.
Steele died on April 14, 2010, with some sources reporting the cause of death as heart failure brought on by an aortic aneurysm, while others list sepsis caused by diverticulitis. In November 2010, seven months after Steele's death, the surviving members of the band announced that they had split up.
In 2016, the staff of Loudwire ranked Type O Negative 32nd on their list of the Top 50 Best Metal Bands of All Time.
