The album when issued on CD leads off with a “joke intro”: in this case, “Skip It”, 11 seconds of staccato band noise meant to sound as if the listener’s CD player is skipping. It was their first album to reach the Top 40 on the Billboard 200 chart. World Coming Down is their fifth studio album and is considered to be the darkest of the band’s releases, having been written after a series of deaths in Steele’s family. 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.

Each of these songs is intended to suggest the possibilities of deaths the band members may have suffered at the time. The album contains three soundscape tracks: Sinus, Liver and Lung, which are named after internal organs, as segues between songs. “Who Will Save the Sane?” deals with mental illness and psychiatry. Two other songs, “Everyone I Love Is Dead,” and “Everything Dies”, touch on the difficulties of watching family members and loved ones pass away. ![]() ![]() Ziggy Stardub Ī Kiss for the Whole World Īlmost Famous - The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording) $5 At The Door (Live At Tressel Tavern, 1994) In Between Thoughts…A New World Īngels In Science Fiction Original Broadway Cast of Almost Famous - The Musical. ![]()
