Legendary goth metal band, Type O Negative was formed in Brooklyn in 1989 by Peter Steele, Kenny Hickey, Josh Silver and Sal Abruscato, who was later replaced by drummer, Johnny Kelly. Affectionately known as the “Drab Four,” Type O went platinum with 1993’s Bloody Kisses and gained a rabid and committed fan base through seven studio albums, two best-of-compilations and concert DVDs. Life Is Killing Me, the band’s 6th studio album and last for Roadrunner was released in 2003. Songs were much faster and shorter than on previous albums, but the underlying humor-element remained.
