TYPE O NEGATIVE Schallplatten & CDs

Review: The first album on Roadrunner Records to ever achieve Gold status in the US, 1993's Bloody Kisses marked the third full-length from alternative/industrial gothic metal legends Type O Negative. Featuring some of the band's most essential bangers like 'Christian Woman' and 'Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)', while furthering their habit of contributing peculiar cover songs to their projects with an initially smutty re-imagined rendition of Seals & Crofts' track 'Summer Breeze' (which the band were forced to re-recorded and its revised lyrics discarded due to the writers' being disgusted with Peter Steele's "distasteful" interpolations), the work has since gone on to become regarded as the quintessential album which established the core sonic and aesthetic identity of Type O Negative. This expanded CD edition features Peter Steele's (at the time controversial) trimmed down digipack version with a plethora of bonus tracks and alternate takes.
