Musically, the uptempo beat and anthemic chorus on “Goils” will remind listeners of “Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity” from the band’s 1991 debut, “Slow, Deep and Hard.” I really can’t understand why we can so easily euthanise beautiful creatures like cats and dogs, but we keep the scum of the earth, mainly human beings, alive and in pain.” “Sometimes I feel like older people are being kept alive just to increase a physician’s income. “I really don’t like doctors, because they’re supposed to take the Hippocratic oath - which I call the hypocritical oath - and everything, as usual, just comes down to money,” Steele explains. “Life Is Killing Me” is a reflection on Steele’s late father, whom he insists would have lived longer if he had better medical care. This time, Steele focuses on themes of betrayal and revenge-in “… A Dish Best Served Coldly” - as well as venting his opinion on managed health care and coming to terms with the mortality of one’s parents (the title track and “Nettie”). The group comprises Steele, keyboardist Josh Silver, drummer Johnny Kelly, and guitarist Kenny Hickey.Īs its lyricist, Steele takes an unflinching look at whatever sorrows are blackening his heart and pours them into his words. Infidelity, death, and depression are among the dreary subjects the band has set to music. ![]() The doom-laden metal act has returned with more poignant compositions that are at times morbid, amusing, frightening, or the three combined, which is what their following loves. What Type O Negative has to say - and its admittedly warped way of expressing it - matters to its fans. If we are all equal, and we have freedom of speech, what does it f***ing matter what we say?” Steele sums up “Goils” as “a stupid sociological experiment. Isn’t it sexist that only a homosexual can use the word ‘queer’ but a heterosexual can’t? Shouldn’t both be wrong? Or both be right?” I use the word ‘queer’ because I’m a heterosexual. ![]() I did this because I can’t wait to see what happens,” he admits. The bassist/vocalist/songwriter predicts a backlash from the not-so-radio-friendly album track “I Like Goils.” The rapid-fire tirade is a treatise on his unbudging heterosexual orientation that contains outrageously politically incorrect lyrics.īut the PC state of mind is what Steele wants to bash-not homosexuality or any particular individual. ![]() To Peter's credit, he understood, saying " I wouldn't wait for me either.When Type O Negative’s fifth studio album, “Life Is Killing Me” (Roadrunner), hits the streets June 17, frontman Peter Steele is ready for people to start complaining. He didn't perform at what would be Type O's final show because he couldn't take time off from training to be an EMT. He was getting tired of the uncertainty of the music industry and wanted to spend more time with his kids. An even sadder thought is that Josh Silver most likely would not have come back for another album cycle.Johnny Kelly was even scouting rehearsal spaces when he got the call. Peter died three years after its release, made sadder by the fact he was in good health and looking forward to making a new album which never got made. Later on, the last album was called Dead Again.Last year I dined with eleven." However, Peter was able to maintain his humor because he was busy on tour at the time, and so it did not affect him as badly as it did a couple of years later. The song "Red Water" is a candidate for most depressing Christmas song ever with such lines as "The table is set for but seven.The heart monitor hits a flatline, and the woman starts sobbing. Especially "Lung", which has the man hooked to a heart monitor and struggling to breathe while a woman, presumably his wife, watches while trying to stifle her tears. Three skits titled "Sinus," "Liver," and "Lung": three ways members of the band were worried they could die.The music video was filmed in the shipyard where his father worked. " The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory. ![]()
