TYPE O NEGATIVE 'SLOW, DEEP AND HARD' LP (Clear w/Black Swirl)

Type O Negative probably couldn't have released their debut, Slow, Deep and Hard, today. Across songs like "Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity," "Prelude to Agony" and "Der Untermensch," the album continued the politically incorrect humor of Steele's previous band, cave-man thrash crew Carnivore. For those with a taste for un-P.C. humor, however, it's brilliantly hilarious, and the raw, NYHC-spiked music — though a far cry from the earworm goth metal the group would become known for — is damn good, too.
