Again, Overkill Unearthed - to me - just may be my favorite thing in metal commentary right now. Banger is the best thing when it comes to record reviews, but the masterpieces that they revisit in their Overkill Rewind videos were giving us their views on our favorites! Now: we get to dissect masterpieces one by one and I couldn’t be clicking on a Banger video faster than I am with Overkill Unearthed. Thank you, Banger, for leading the way in metal reviews!

There’s no such thing as a “bad” Type O Negative album.

One of the most underrated metal albums of all time! The main riff in White Slavery is possibly the darkest, dirgiest, sludgiest riff I've ever heard. It's like they poured 2 parts Black Sabbath, 1 part Candlemass and 1 part Crowbar into a cauldron and stirred for 666 seconds. A little surprised that Martin didn't mention that for a long time Peter didn't speak very highly of the album, maybe in part because he was going through an extremely difficult time in his life when it was being made. Nonetheless, the album is a masterpiece. R.I.P. Green Man

"All Hallows Eve" is a gem

World Coming Down is my favourite album of all time so you can only imagine how happy I was to see this video. Its beautiful and heartbreaking and the riffs are so heavy they're agonizing to listen to in some passages. Peter Steele was truly a one of a kind who sang from the heart, on this record more than any other.

"White Slavery" alone is worth the price of all the records in the world. WCD is a wonderful record, very dark and painful to listen for me. Anyway, I'll leave you with this guy's opinion, which I happen to agree with: "I love WCD because it's so depressive, everytime I listen to it it makes me wanna suicide." by Josh Silver.

Absolutely loved World Coming Down...The Creepy Green Light is one of my all time favorite songs, ever....

I've NEVER clicked so fast on a video in my LIFE

I had the opposite experience with this album that I had with “October Rust”. Every song on October Rust hit me like a ton of bricks the first time I heard it and it instantly became my favorite album. “World Coming Down” seemed a bit too dark and depressing for me at first, but I committed to listen to it over and over again and it quickly became my second favorite album of theirs. Listening to “October Rust” and “World Coming Down” back to back gives you the best of both worlds when it comes to Type O Negative, in my opinion.

So I guess we're just gonna pretend Slow, Deep and Hard doesn't exist? I know it's kinda part Carnivore in sound, but it's very much Type O as well, and a killer debut.

Suuuuuuuuuuuch an underrated album. Second best TypO album imo.

I love this record Everything Dies is played randomly and with regularity in our home

The absolute power of the title track's chorus bouncing between Pete and Kenny. Sacred.

Love Type O. This is their darkest release for sure both lyrically and musically. To me their best release was October Rust. But this one is a classic for sure. I’d love to see you guys cover albums from Trouble and Ministry.

I think life is killing me is one of their best if not best albums critically looked over

Type O Negative has been my favorite band since seeing them open for Motley on the BK tour. I’ve always admired the tongue in cheek aspect of the music, that sly sardonic Peter Steele humor. One of the most endearing traits of theirs is the band’s ability to play covers and make them sound like TON. Case in point: their cover of Paranoid! Also, I have to add that I really dig their Beatles covers - especially when they would do Dear Prudence live!

Thanks, Martin and Banger. It was fascinating to hear excerpts from your conversations with Pete. Would love to see more content that explores the story behind these classic albums. “Everything Dies” always hits me really hard emotionally, and especially now. Take care, y’all.

Thanks for keeping Type O in the conversation. This is not my favorite record in their collection but I still think it's very a good one. White Slavery is particularly powerful and heavy. The record also seems oddly relevant during a pandemic

Please do the following album, life is killing me.

"pretty similar to each other" - sounds like someone dropped off after World Coming Down! It should be added that Pete Steele said in interview that Michael Jackson's legal representation made sure to take almost all revenue from this release because of the Daytripper medley copyright infraction.

World Coming Down is probably my favorite Type O album. Bleak,dark, depressing and heavy as can be in many spots.The very end instrumental section of Everything Dies is one of the heaviest weight experiences in music.You can feel the death and mourning and then followed by Lung and the death experience. Powerful!

Incredible album. I remember seeing them in Toronto at The Guvernment on this tour. Still have the shirt. Thanks to Martin for mentioning the opening track. Much like with the "Bad Ground" situation on the absolute fucking masterpiece that was "October Rust", the first track "Skip It" gave me a terrified feeling as I tried the disc out in my 1999 Sony Discman and thought my copy was bad. Still one of my favourite bands, and I can't wait to keep the tradition of listening to "All Hallow's Eve" this October. Check out Kenny and Johnny's band "Silvertomb".

21 years later still playing it.. never gets old. we miss you Pete! 🤘

My ABSOLUTE favorite album of theirs, and of all time!!! 🖤💚🖤💚🖤 In fact, I'm listening to "Everything Dies" RIGHT NOW!!!

Death and now Type O Negative? You guys are the best and I love this unearthed series you guys should check out DOWN's debut since it's 25th anniversary this year

Although I think the host took the subject very lightly, I agree with "The most TON album" part. The most powerful and true of their albums, the most mature I think - far from the hardcore-chaotic debut, enough of dark jokes and sexy winks. This is Type O that i will keep with me forever. And about the Beatles... Peter was educated right when it comes to music - They always said The Beatles and Black Sabbath were the fundamental influence, but there's a lot of Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Sisters of Mercy and many many more. TON feels different because many bands feel like "Hey, let's play metal", while the Type O is a vast pool of inspirations put together, and the gothic gloom and doom is just the outer shell, the cauldron which keeps all those influences well mixed. Shame that many people scoff at the surface and miss the insides, even I had a rough start with them. But once you go black (and rotten green), you never go back.

World Coming Down is a stellar record and I love the title track. The Gregorian chant underlines the deep hopelessness and despair of the track.

Love this record. Love type o. I think I have played October rust from beginning to end a million times

Thanks Martin for giving this band the recognition deserved. Most of the times they're so underrated

The reason they lost sales was they were forced to focus only on Peter for vocals on releases. All the hits from Bloody Kisses had the dual vocals of Peter and Kenny, and it lost chemistry until they moved to Steamhammer when the Roadrunner contract was up. It's a great album in any case, one of my favorites.

World Coming Down is such an influential album to my playing. Always liked their stuff but WCD always stuck out the most. Love it to pieces.

I really miss Type O Negative, they had such a unique and different sound than most metal bands I listened in the 90’s and even today. Maybe it was the darkness that attracted me to them that I liked, maybe it was Pete Steele’s vocals that I liked, maybe a little bit of both. I love Blood Kisses, October Rust and World Coming Down. Their last few records weren’t as polished as these three but they’re were such a tight band and I thought they’d always be around and I was saddened of Pete’s passing in 2010. R.I.P. Peter...😔🤟🏻🎸

Cd has fantastic audio quality/fidelity. Mastering by George Marino. Wish more metal albums could sound this good!!

Type O' Negative is one of my all-time favorite bands! Cool to point out this album! Really underrated in my opinion and actually my favorite! (Bloody Kisses and Life is Killing Me are pretty near by). Thank you Banger!

So happy to see this! My all time favorite band. The sound, the aesthetic, the mood, they're truly in a category all their own. Thank you for doing this. I absolutely ❤ Type O.

a type o review omg! thank you so much for this dose of happiness (and melancholy lol) in this stressful time

This was great review! Thank you very much!

Thank you for reviewing this underrated album. I love this album, its depressing and raw. The album didn't get the attention it deserved due to the times, numetal was exploding and Type O was def not that. Great review 🤘😎🤘

My favorite music channel reviewing my favorite album from one of my favorite bands of all time? Keep doing Overkill Unearthed! Love it.

World Coming Down was an amazing record when I first heard it. This was definitely they're most depressive album considering all the turmoil that Peter Steele went through, but the music was incredibly dark and atmospheric. I always have a hard time calling a Type O record a bad album, and this is no exception. This further cements Type O Negative as the definitive Gothic metal band having to expand their range in terms of tone and emotion with every passing album.

What do I think of Type O's records? One word: AMAZING. Type O Negative was one of the greatest bands of all time and this album is perfect in my opinion.

I'm always interested to see how people react to Type O. I must have watched every related video on KZfaq at least twice.

Dead Again is their most underrated album and I love that album. The production might be a bit too clean, but the music is great

Loved the Beatles medley at the end the version of the shes so heavy riff was amazing

My favorite Type O album. This band does not get enough discussions these days. Thanks for making this video.

No mention of my 2 favorite albums, Slow Deep And Hard and Origin Of The Feces.

WCD is a goddamn masterpiece. Popoff said it all perfectly, while this isn't my favorite Type O album it probably really is the most "Type O" Type O Negative album. And no love for Slow, Deep and Hard and Origin?!? Origin is in my top 3 for sure, just a really great interpretation of those songs and a very cool idea for a "live" album. 💚

One of the most depressing albums of all time, but one of my favourites 💚

This is my personal favorite Type O Negative album because of the darkness. To me, it feels like the most personal album they did and it's the one I go back to the most.

Ive just suscribed for this video, ten years have past since Peter died and you are reviewing this album, gorgeous!!! Not my fav album from one of my favs bands, but cant disagree with your statements, everything dies is raw TON. Great work on this review!

Peter Steele's Apex album is Carnivore " Retaliation"... Type O is great, but the two Carnivore albums are 🌋⚡🌠🔥💥...

bought the cd at a multimedia store in my town of Fargo,ND and I love all the tracks including the Beatles Medley

great entertaining review.very informative.

This guy made some interesting points. "They were kinda going down the tubes" stands out. October Rust is their best album- one million times played at least & my CD player died. World Coming Down is arranged like classic 70's era PF album. "White Slavery" is one of the greatest songs ever written. Peter was always brilliant lyrically & creatively. Probably his best tongue in cheek lyrical moment that makes a serious statement about addiction.

I was late to this album, but really love it and it's possibly my favorite TON album. The slow plodding nature of the album speaks to me. I lost my wife to cancer on 1/1/19 and this was on loop for a long time afterwards. Therapy by association.

Difficult to pick a favourite Type O record, i love them all so damn much, for different reasons, but this one is kinda peculiar, and indeed stands out. After a couple of goth albums, they drop a doom monster. No sexual fantasies, no romance this time, it's a deep, dark, sorrowful album. The main riff of the title track always gives me goosebumps. R.I.P. Peter, i've never known you, but damn i miss ya.

One of my favorites by them. Nice to see it get some respect. Though I would disagree that their last two albums are similar. Life Is Killing Me is more akin to World Coming Down while Dead Again is a strange punky beast hybrid.

Awesome video. Love this series. One of my favorite Type O Negative albums ever. RIP Peter Steele - one of a kind human and unbelievable performer.

Loved this album to death, @bangertv guys could you also do a review of either katatonia's brave murder day, opeth's Morningrise or edge of sanity's Crimson. Would love to see your on take on those records.

Great video guys

Vintage records to unearth.. ●WASP=THE CRIMSON IDOL. ●DEATH=SYMBOLIC. ●FEAR FACTORY =DEMANUFACTURE. ●VOI VOD =ANGEL RAT. ●LIFE OF AGONY =SOUL SEARCHING SUN.

My #1 favorite Type O album. I have such an emotional connection to this band that I can’t even listen to them anymore since Pete died. The bits of the album played here are the first Type O I’ve heard in years and just brings back a flood of feels that I’m still not able to deal with yet, even 10 years later.

Excellent video! Discography section: Wish that you would have mentioned Slow, Deep And Hard. That's where it started for me. My buddy bought the CD right after it was released. It's still one of my Top 10 LPs!! Absolutely perfect band. Hail Vinnlandia, RIP Petrus!!!

Can you review Sepultura or Pantera, I think those two bands made a huge leap in metal history, from playing to half a million people to putting Brazil on the metal map

I love Type O Negative had the chance to see them four or five times Great Band was really bummed out when Peter Steele died

This album is a masterpiece! Over time it has become my favorite I think. Given all the things going on in their lives at this point, it's so inspired...Pete's bass work is probably the best stuff he ever did.

I was just listening to this record last weekend. Was kind of feeling a weird kinship between World Coming Down and the current pandemic going on. Definitely their most cathartic and personal disc, the one you should take to a desert island or if you're serious about your quarantine LOL.

Past few months I've dived deep into Type O, amazing band I can't believe I slept on. I love how unashamedly themselves they were. Now one of my faves for sure.

I absolutely love this album, I remember going to visit my uncle in NYC and I had one of those portable cd players with a headset and I was listening to this album in the subways and man that was one of the most surreal experience I have ever had. I love this band, I love this album and they were a huge part of my teenage youth. RIP Pete.

My favorite album by them. Brings me back to high school.

Love the review.

I really like this unearthed series! LOVE Type-O and this is a great album. Cheers!

This album is the one my adopted-dad used to introduce me to metal, during my teen years-and I thank him for it everyday! I LOVE Type O!

Thanks, thanks a lot for this review. Balm for the soul.

Brilliant Album! 20 years later, still bring it out for a spin every now and then. As a whole, probably my second favorite album of theirs. I miss Peter so much! A musical genius he was.

October rust is my go to album by Type O. I still play it regularly. I cant get through the fall without playing that album every day. But with that said. This album is their best and 100% IS their sound

Thank you for doing this

Type O is in my top 5 of all time! This album is hit and miss for me, when put along with the rest of thier stuff. I need to be in a certain place when I hear this, because it brings a lot of memories up. I typically grab October Rust or Life Is Killing Me. Great review, and it's good to see some TON love! 🤘

This one was a grower for me. Like all their albums. Another band that I will miss waiting for the next release. Everything dies I suppose.

All Hallows’ eve was the first Type O song I ever heard

Is that Soul On Fire book still available anywhere?

My favorite Type-O album. I just moved to Gravesend Brooklyn when the album broke, and I found out from it’s liner notes that I was getting my dinners from the same Chinese food place on Ave. X as some of the guys in the band. I loved the records before this one ever since hearing Bloody Kisses and was aware of the earlier albums and Carnivore (but I was not a big fan). This album was played religiously and ever now and then I’d see Pete at L’Amores wondering around.

Do more of these this was great

my favorite album. maybe it was the time it came out and I was going through as a young adult, addiction, depression, anxiety , you name it. It got me . Love it, Much respect to TON and hope Pete can get this message wherever he is, Bravo...

It's definitely my favorite Type O Record of all time. The overall tone of the record, fuzzy yet somehow bright and the melodic riffing is just genius for such a doom and gothic sound. The perfect mix of Black Sabbath and The Beatles. Just absolutely amazing!

What about origin of the feces? or slow deep and hard?

Love this album!! Favourite type o negative and I love all there album's. We need more type o negative!!

Love the production on this album, love the Day Tripper medley 💚

I don't agree there's no Beatles in this record. Pyretta Blaze certainly has some Beatles-like sound to it, I even think Everything Dies has a similar sound to it.

This was the first album I heard from them, and I became an instant fan, and it still is my favourite Type O album. Just because it is grittier and heavier than the other ones. Perfect example is White Slavery, which still is my favourite Type O song, that intro riff just rips into my eardrums every time.

Great album. I still love TYPE O NEGATIVE since 1995!!!. I Love their guitar/bass tone and atmospheres on every record. Josh Silver keyboards were 50% the soul of the band, the other 50% were Peter, Kenny, Sal and Johnny.

I think “World Coming Down” is Type O’s best album.

Right on. And perfect timing. :)

Would've ordered it but every is delayed for me. Just wish they'd re release October Rust too

I ordered world coming down from a CD club in 2000 (if anyone remembers those) on a whim. The album art and the little description appealed to then 17 year old me. I remember putting it in my CD player and getting confused, alarmed and upset by Skip it thinking that the disc was damaged. Then I heard White Slavery, part of it as this was before my attention span had evolved to understand what Type O was doing. Anyway, the sonic immensity and sludgy pace was overwhelming and amazing at the same time. I had never heard anything like it. I quickly browsed through the album and heard the beginnings of all the songs and then listened to the album front to back and that was it. I was a fan for life and proceeded to buy everything they'd ever recorded. Later after a hand injury I switched to playing bass from guitar after being informed that that "type o guitar sound" I was describing was actually the bass. type 1 negative was a huge influence on me, I am very thankful for them and for this album in particular because it served as a springboard for my musical and intellectual development.

Way to go Martin!

How about reviewing another one of Brooklyn’s finest the debut of life of agony

Dude, how do I not know about this channel. This guy is a true music historian.

is there any unreleased typo material...?

Whoa! Never thought id see Type O on here, cool
