“I’ll do anything to make you come,” Steele intones in a reverent baritone on the alt-rock tinged “Be My Druidess.” When he delicately sings “Am I good enough for you?” at the end of “Love You to Death,” his vulnerability represents a mature transformation from the psychopathic “Kill You Tonight” persona he adapted on the first couple records. Sexual pleasure as a theme in heavy metal largely died out with glam, but Type O revitalized the topic by turning the tables on the idea of the male frontman as mere sexual conqueror. This is the first album to feature Johnny Kelly credited as the bands drummer, though in a 2007 interview with Dave Manack for keyboardist and co-producer, Josh Silver confessed. It was released in 1996, and has a more gothic rock feel than earlier albums. Kink takes center stage in the bouncy Doors meet B-52s romp of “My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend,” and the vaguely pagan-ish “Wolf Moon,” an ode to giving cunnilingus to a menstruating lover. October Rust is the fourth album by Type O Negative.
He’s developed his voice off of a wide range of singers and styles, all of which can be heard on album and on stage with Witherfall and Sanctuary. This show is presented by Rebel Radio and Scott Davidson. From Dream Theater to Type O Negative and King Diamond to Guns N’ Roses, the formative yearsthe ’90sfor Michael were enriched with the right cross-section of albums (and singers).
TYPE O NEGATIVE OCTOBER RUST FULL ALBUM YOUTUBE SKIN
Noptober Rust is joined by Sandblasted Skin & Lady Evil. With his best Danzig impression, he personifies her hips and lips, “they say the beast inside of me is gonna get ya,” before summoning his own inner animal for the final verse. We welcome Noptober Rust - a Tribute to Type O Negative as they play the entire October Rust album followed by other avorites.
In “Love You to Death,” Steele and his partner take turns exploring their submissive and dominating sides. Most of the songs are vignettes about love, sexuality and loss. October Rust is the least overtly nihilistic Type O’s album.
