I can’t quite recall where I made the connection, it could’ve been at my aunt’s apartment or the local library, but I just remember being overwhelmed and totally impressed with each and every song I was finding on YouTube. I was intrigued and this prompted me to research them further, until I realized, I’ve heard these guys before. It was towards the end of that class period and he looked up the music video for Black No.
If memory serves, I was either in AIS English or study hall, and a teacher at my school mentioned the band and talked about Peter. I didn’t know who Type O Negative were until I was in 9th grade, by which time Pete might’ve passed on. One band that seemed so unique in their approach to convey emotion, sensuality and dark humor with depth was Type O Negative. Unsurprisingly, certain metal groups appear on multiple soundtracks throughout their careers. It doesn’t matter if it’s a slasher film, creature features, ghost or zombie flicks, whatever it is.
