History Music / TypeONegative

* ''The Origin of the Feces'' (1992)[[hottip:*:An album of studio recordings made to sound like a LiveAlbum documenting a terrible show against a hostile crowd.]]
* ''Bloody Kisses'' (1993)[[hottip:*:Their last album with their first drummer, Sal Abruscato.]]
* ''October Rust'' (1996)[[hottip:*:Despite Abruscato being replaced with Johnny Kelly, this and the next two albums use programmed drums instead.]]

* ''Dead Again'' (2007)[[hottip:*:The only album with Johnny Kelly's actual drum playing.]]

* FunetikAksent: There are some humorous references to the band members' New York accents, such as the title of "I Like Goils" and the backing vocals being credited to "The Bensonhoist[[hottip:*:Bensonhurst]] Lesbian Choir".

* Squick: Steele didn't exactly steer clear of unsavory subjects.

* DrugsAreBad: "White Slavery." Also "Sinus", "lung", and "Liver".

* StageNames: Pete's real surname is Ratajzcyk.

* RefugeInAudacity: ''Slow, Deep and Hard'' in particular, mostly because it was largely comprised of leftover Carnivore songs, and Carnivore made this trope an artform.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Peter mostly sings normally, and in the but in some songs ("Todd's Ship Gods (Above All Things)"), especially when performing in the ridiculously deep voice, it sounds like he's singing in an accent stuck between "Noo Yawker" and "Vaguely {{Uberwald}}ian".

* SpokenWordInMusic - A couple of examples, the most notable probably being the opening of "Christian Woman."

* TrrrillingRrrs: Peter.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Peter's vocals sometimes get so exaggerated and theatrical that it seems like he's stuck at an accent in between "Noo Yawker" and "Vaguely {{Uberwald}}ian".

* TrrrllingRrrs: Peter.

* {{Troll}}: Some of Peter's lyrics definitely came across as this, particularly "I Like Goils".

* CoversAlwaysLie: ''Bloody Kisses'' and ''Dead Again'' have no songs about what their covers depict, and the pseudo-runic font in the ''October Rust'' booklet only means the album has not a single song about vikings.

* FaceOfTheBand: Peter Steele.

* MisattributedSong: "Angel", a song by the extremely obscure German {{Gothic Metal}} band Tears of Passion, is sometimes mistaken for a Type O Negative song, due to the similarities in style. The sad thing is, the only reason anyone has ever heard of Tears of Passion is because of the confusion.
** Mad Machinery's cover of {{Sarah McLachlan}}'s "Possession" is frequently, and erroneously, labeled as a Type O- song. The overall style is similar, and the vocals sound almost identical.

* SignatureSong: "Black No. 1"; "Christian Woman".

* IAmTheBand: Averted. Though Peter Steele was without question the {{Face Of The Band}} and main songwriter, many decisions were made by other members (such as using programmed drums on three of their albums - only their last album features Johnny Kelly playing actual drums).

* Polyamory: "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" (presented with a heavy dose of GirlOnGirlIsHot).

Founded in 1988 upon the ashes of FaceOfTheBand Peter Steele's earlier band Carnivore, Type O Negative's SignatureStyle was [[{{Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly}} an unlikely mixture]] of Music/{{Black Sabbath}}, {{Goth}} rock and punk and ''completely'' refused to ever take itself seriously. They often used a distinct pop/indie sensibility most visible on the ''October Rust'' album. Notable for being one of the [[TropeMaker pioneers]] of GothMetal. They broke up with the passing of Peter Steele in 2010.

* PaintingTheFourthWall: ''The Origin of the Feces'', a fake live album.

* FetishFuel

* IAmTheBand: Averted. Though Peter Steele was without question the {{Face Of The Band}} and main songwriter, many decisions were made by other members (such as using programmed drums on three of their albums).

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly

* RefugeInAudacity: ''Slow, Deep, and Hard'' in particular, mostly because it was largely comprised of leftover Carnivore songs, and Carnivore made this trope an artform.

* RefugeInAudacity

* LeadBassist: Peter Steele is Type B and C.

* PerverseSexualLust: "How Could She?" humourously discusses this.

* RatedGForGangsta: The ''Bloody Kisses'' album shamelessly mocks this phenomenon by way of {{Mood Whiplash}}, ''October Rust'' is a [[{{Stealth Parody}} seemingly]] straighter example, and ''World Coming Down'' an [[{{Inverted Trope}} inversion]]. When they apparently tried this genuinely with ''Life Is Killing Me''...another {{Creator Breakdown}} happened and they made the dark, aggressive ''Dead Again''.

* SignatureSong: "Black #1." "Wolf Moon" is a close second.

* StealthParody: The band's {{Signature Song}}, "Black #1," is an indictment of the entire {{Goth}} subculture. Which, [[{{Viewers Are Morons}} of course]], didn't stop goth kids everywhere from [[{{Misaimed Fandom}} adopting it as their anthem]].
* TallDarkandHandsome: At 6"6, Peter Steele was the epitome of this trope.

* TitleOnlyChorus: "Black #1."

* AudioErotica: Many considered Peter Steele's deep voice to be this.

* BiggusDickus: The late Peter Steele. The proof is in the issue of ''Playgirl'' he posed for.
