Peter Steele's Authorized Biography Confirmed; Writer Wants Fans Input!

Peter Steele, the legendary vocalist of Type O Negative and Carnivore, who passed away from heart failure on April 14, 2010 at the age of 48 will always be remembered for his charisma and his timeless anthemic songs. It has recently been announced that Metal journalist Jeff Wagner is writing an authorized biography of the frontman called "Soul On Fire" and he is asking fans to help.

Jeff Wagner has worked at Relapse, The End and Century Media Records, and was an editor at Metal Maniacs magazine from 1997 to 2001. He also wrote his first book on progressive Metal: "Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Heavy Metal". 

Jeff described this project: "the authorized biography of Peter Steele will be a comprehensive investigation of his life and music, supported by those who knew him best, written by a fan, for the fans.

"If you're a fan, have recollections of meeting Peter, have photos, tattoos, or anything, PM the Facebook group HERE. This is a total labor of love and one that his followers will hopefully find an indispensable part of the Type O continuum. Stay Negative!"

NYC Metallers HUNG To Demolish NEW ENGLAND Today!

New York City badasses HUNG are warming up as we speak for their second appearance at the NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL! Last year they appeared on the second stage... today at 2 PM they are ROCKING the MAIN STAGE!!!

In case you haven't heard their EPIC music: HUNG and Guitar World teamed up for the world premiere of "Progeny" off the upcoming self-titled debut out May 8th 2012 courtesy of The End Records and Chris Adler from Lamb of God’s label ReThink Records. The debut album features 10 punishing and sonically aesthetic tracks engineered and produced by Andy Abel and Lyris Hung at Abel Studios in Connecticut, with vocals tracked and produced by Ryan Kelly at MSR Studios and Nova Studios in New York City. Listen to "Progeny" below, courtesy of Guitar World.



HUNG violinist Lyris Hung says about "Progeny": “The song 'Progeny' is one of HUNG's most sonically diverse pieces, and one that shows off some of our most lyrical material. It's one of my personal favorites because it travels through many different musical landscapes… My approach to the violin lines are more traditional in a 'violinistic' way, allowing the instrument to take a lot of sweeping parts above the rest of the band and even the rhythm violin parts tend to be integrated with melody.”
