Type O Negative was never destined to be another forgettable metal band. Then again, Peter Steele never thought he would earn a throne in the pantheon of rock.
Crawling out of the wreckage of Brooklyn-born Steele's former hardcore bands Fallout and Carnivore in the early '90s, with Steele on vocals and bass, guitarist Kenny Hickey, keyboardist Josh Silver, and drummer Sal Abruscato (later replaced by Johnny Kelly), Type O would soon unearth a mashup of goth, hardcore, and doom metal unlike anything else that had been heard at the time.
