"Yet at the same time, who didn't like the Beatles and Stones? Then I got older, I was into the droning, dreamy sounds of bands like the Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine and Dead Can Dance. "I've always liked really heavy rock music, like Black Sabbath and Iron Butterfly," said Steele. The change, as Steele told Roos, stemmed largely from Steele's personal influences growing up. And when the album Bloody Kisses arrived in 1993, critics and fans alike seemed surprised to hear Type O Negative abandoning humor and vulgarity and attempting to convey feeling. The rumbling bass lines, thrashing guitar riffs and massive vocalization (paired by the equally massive stature of Steele ) make this band nearly frightening in its magnitude."Īlthough Type O Negative first earned a reputation for their brash, speed-metal sound punctuated with vulgar, offensive lyrics, the band would later transform their image. Moreover, as stated by the Rolling website, "Steele's songcraft supplies Type O Negative with a larger-than-life sound. If you're gonna call us something, I prefer `junk rock' or `gothadelic.' I think we make music that dead hippies might like." In fact, as Steele proposed, Type O Negative combined elements of metal, industrial, psychedelia, and alternative music, in addition to goth-rock, into their overall sound. Seriously, I don't like being called goth because there are more elements to our music than that label suggests. "A goth image has been cast upon us by the media because they have to label us something, I guess," Steele suggested to John Roos in an interview for the Los Angeles Times. However, lead singer and bassist Peter Steele resisted such pigeonholing. With each band member boasting long hair, plenty of tattoos, and prime influences such as the hard-rocking 1970s outfit Black Sabbath, it comes as no surprise that Type O Negative earned labels like "gothic-metal gurus" from the media.
