Jeff Wagner is pissed. The author of “Mean Deviation: Four Decades Of Progressive Heavy Metal” and former Metal Maniacs editor is pulling together a book on Peter Steele and Type O Negative. He’s got one problem. The band’s surviving members want nothing to do with it. And he’s fucking pissed. “I’m disappointed in the recent Read More
And it’s even authorized! Meaning, the family of the late Type O Negative and Carnivore frontman have signed off on the project!

Yup. Suicide Silence’s Mitch Lucker is in the ground. His funeral was today, and attended by family, friends, and band dudes galore. “Had to bury my brother today,” wrote Suicide Silence’s Dan Kenny online. “He looked peaceful when I saw him.

Yes, folks. That’s right — the other day, Emmanuel Worm from French decadent metallers Wormfood hit us up with the band’s previously unreleased cover of Type O Negative’s “Christian Woman” as a video online.

I know…where does the time go? Soon, we’ll be marking Paul Gray’s one year anniversary, and then Dio’s. Last year was fucked up. But if I am going to be honest, it was Peter Steele’s death that hurt me the most. I am from New York; I was born in Brooklyn, raised on Long Island, Read More
