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.”
