Rush Live in 2013
Roadrunner has released some pretty amazing live albums over the years, and Rush‘s Clockwork Angels Tour (out this week) is only the latest. So for this week’s Spotify playlist, we thought we’d glance backward over that history, and pull tracks from some of our favorite live releases over the years. Here are 30 tracks from Deicide, The Devil Wears Prada, DragonForce, Dream Theater, Machine Head, Opeth, Rush, Sepultura, Slipknot, and Type O Negative. (OK, the Type O tracks aren’t technically live, but what the hell.) Enjoy!
Roadrunner Records issues:
The metal site Last Rites has posted a list of their 13 favorite Type O Negative songs, covering the band’s entire Roadrunner discography. Check it out to read what they have to say, or if you just want to hear the music, a Spotify playlist is below.
Type O Negative circa 1992
Roadrunner has issued that the former Metal Maniacs editor Jeff Wagner has announced that he will be writing an authorized biography of the late Type O Negative frontman Peter Steele. As he put it on Facebook, “It will be a comprehensive investigation of his life and music, supported by those who knew him best, written by a fan, for the fans. If you’re a fan, have recollections of meeting Peter, have photos, tattoos, or anything, PLEASE message me. This is a total labor of love and one that his followers will hopefully find an indispensable part of the Type O continuum.”
There’s no information yet about a publisher or a date, but Wagner is actively soliciting information from fans – write to him at PeterSteeleBio@gmail.com, and visit the Peter Steele Authorized Biography Facebook page!
Roadrunner has issued as follows:
Back in 2000, a Type O Negative show in Boston was recorded for the syndicated show Levi’s Spark Radio; the broadcast as aired was actually split between Type O and Static-X. Well, we’ve unearthed that broadcast and put Type O‘s half of the show on our Soundcloud page, and you can also stream it above! The band is heard for about 20 minutes, which means they only have time for a few songs – “Everyone I Love is Dead,” from their then-new album World Coming Down, “Love You to Death” from October Rust, and their hit “Black No. 1,” from Bloody Kisses (which celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year). Enjoy!
Type O Negative‘s entire Roadrunner catalog is now available in the digital boxed set The Complete Roadrunner Collection 1991-2003; grab a copy from the Roadrunner webstore!
Type O Negative circa 1992
Roadrunner has issued the following:
Today would have been Carnivore and Type O Negative frontman Pete Steele‘s 51st birthday. Naturally, we thought this offered the perfect theme for our weekly Spotify playlist. So here’s a 15-song selection of tracks by both those bands, as well as “Enemy of the State,” the track Pete sang on the Roadrunner United album. (For hardcore Type O fans, we offer a longer, more in-depth playlist of just their songs, right here.)
