Album Notes & Community Reviews
Abandoning their earlier hardcore aggression, Type O Negative fully embraces incredibly lush, romantic gothic metal on 'October Rust'. The album pairs Peter Steele's deep, melancholic baritone with heavily layered, shoegaze-inflected doom riffs, crafting a highly sexual and deeply nocturnal autumn atmosphere.
