TYPE O NEGATIVE
SLOW, DEEP AND HARD
ROADRUNNER JULY 1991
Described by Hammer’s representative, Anthony Noguera, as “without doubt the strangest, most evil, menacing record I have heard all year”,
Slow, Deep And Hard was the debut studio album from Type O Negative – the first made by the New Yorkers since Peter Steele’s exit from Carnivore. Coloured by the singer/bassist’s dry humour, Anthony found it “hard to review – not least because of the harsh sexual and violent overtones” that ran though songs such as Unsuccessfully
Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity and Prelude To Agony. Awarding four out of five, he nevertheless summed up: “Steele signed his record deal in blood and semen; this is the work of a very twisted and menacing mind.”
