Type O Negative to Release Deluxe Vinyl Box!

After the death of Type O Negative's charismatic front-man Peter Steele on April 14, 2010, the herds of Type O fanatics knew that it was the end of the bands legacy. Lets face it, Peter Steele is to blame for the unique direction that "The Drab Four" (in homage to The Beatles' "Fab Four" moniker) adopted ever since their inception in the late 80s.

Today, it was announced that Roadrunner Records will be releasing a special Type O Negative vinyl box set exclusively via independent retailers on Black Friday, which falls on November 25th 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 while retaining the sort of signature melody that made their songs utterly memorable, infesting your brain like a virus.

The vinyl box includes all of Type O Negatives Roadrunner Records releases. Here are all the details:

- 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.

- Additionally, each album will also have new, branded liner notes documenting the genesis and completion of each album. As well, as 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


This is what Type O Negative's 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'."
