Type O Negative is a band from Brooklyn, New York City. They are notable as one of the earliest successes in the goth/doom metal style. In addition, however, the band has always balanced a variety of non-goth influences, such as The Beatles (sometimes referring to themselves in jest as "The Drab Four"). Despite a dramatic lyrical emphasis on themes of sex, romance, depression, and death, Type O is also known for an irreverent and self-deprecating sense of humor. Their popularity grew in 1993 with the album Bloody Kisses, which featured the provocative hits "Christian Woman" and "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)". Their most recent album is 2007's Dead Again. Origins Type O Negative?s origins spawn from a band called Fallout, formed in the early eighties by then-teenager Peter Steele. He was joined by fellow teen and Brooklyn native, Josh Silver. The band released one EP in 1981, titled Batteries Not Included
