SLOW DEEP AND HARD 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION (Green & Black LP) [Vinyl]

Type O Negative is an American goth-metal band formed in Brooklyn in 1989
by Peter Steele (lead vocals, bass), Kenny Hickey (guitar, backing vocals),
Josh Silver (keyboards, backing vocals), and Sal Abruscato (drums,
percussions), who was later replaced by Johnny Kelly. Slow, Deep and
Hard is their debut studio album, released in 1991 on Roadrunner Records.
The album, originally titled None More Negative and released in 1990
under the group’s former name Repulsion, launched the band’s career. The
album has a rawness that was prominent in Peter Steele’s previous band,
Carnivore, but it incorporates elements that became standard for Type
O Negative, merging styles including doom metal, gothic rock, new wave
and industrial music. Slow, Deep and Hard is a semi-autobiographical
album with heavy amounts of black humor, based on a failed relationship in
which the vocalist/bass guitarist Peter Steele was involved. In keeping with
the band’s notable humor, the album’s cover artwork is a blurred image of
sexual penetration. According to guitarist Kenny Hickey, Steele based a riff
of “Gravitational Constant: G = 6.67 x 10 – 8 cm – 3 gm – 1 sec – 2” (later
known as “Gravity”) from the theme song of the 1964 American sitcom
The Munsters.
For the 30th anniversary of Slow,
Deep and Hard, Roadrunner
Records in conjunction with Run
Out Groove, is reissuing the debut
on vinyl in all it’s remastered glory
