Roadrunner Records will release a special TYPE O NEGATIVE vinyl box set exclusively via independent retailers on Black Friday, which lands on November 25 this year.
As the first band to achieve platinum status on the Roadrunner roster, TYPE O NEGATIVE didn’t rewrite the rules. They simply tore the rule book up, burned what was left of it and did whatever the hell they wanted with the smoldering ash. The result was nothing short of brilliant, as they combined dirge-like doom with head down, gothy grooves, all the while retaining the sort of signature melody that made their songs utterly memorable, infesting your brain like a virus.
The vinyl box includes all Roadrunner released TYPE O NEGATIVE material. Each album will be issued on double green vinyl, with the album art recreated, including the controversial, rarely seen original cover of “The Origin Of The Feces”. TYPE O fans know all about that cover and the anatomy which it features. Each album will also have new, branded liner notes documenting the genesis and completion of each album. An exclusive sticker sheet with six mini bumper stickers will also be included in this “must-own” set for TYPE O NEGATIVE diehards. It’s an instant collector’s item.
The set includes the following releases:
* Slow, Deep and Hard
* The Origin of the Feces
* Bloody Kisses
* October Rust
* World Coming Down
* Life Is Killing Me
Said TYPE O drummer Johnny Kelly: “This looks great, but we’re disappointed that Roadrunner couldn’t get it together to do the scratch-and-sniff cover we wanted for ‘The Origin Of The Feces’.”
TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele passed away on April 14, 2010 from heart failure. He was 48 years old.
Kinda bad ass!
