A notable underground metal milestone: 26 years after Peter Steele and Josh Silver released their first EP as Fallout, the Brooklynites soldier on still--as half of the self-proclaimed Drab Four. Four years since the group's last output (2003's LIFE IS KILLING ME), Type O Negative present their first set for SPV/Steamhammer with DEAD AGAIN, described by the band as "confused dirge-core." Ever-provocative with his lyrics, Steele tackles the death of a close friend ("Halloween In Heaven"), drug and alcohol abuse ("Dead Again"), and spirituality ("These Three Things"). Guest vocalist Tara VanFlower (of Lycia) lends her own brand of beautiful darkness to the proceedings. minimize
