TYPE O NEGATIVE
THE DREAM IS DEAD
First of all, let me tell you that this compilation has been in the works for quite some time. I first heard of Peter Steele when he was in the metal/hardcore band Carnivore and have been following his career since. So, as you can imagine, the news of his sudden death has been quite a shock to me. Actually, I couldn’t believe it. Peter was only 48 years old and, since he was now sober and in a better mental condition than he had been for the past few years, I was expecting other news from him and his band, a new album for example. Sadly, this will probably never happen as it seems he hadn’t even started working on it.
This compilation is a tribute to a man who has marked the metal scene of his influence by popularizing a genre, gothic metal, which he greatly helped to creating and developing throughout the seven albums he released with Type O Negative.
Due to the length of the albums and songs of Type O Negative, I had no other choice but to make it a double CD and, honestly, I think it’s the least Peter deserved.
May he rest in peace and may his music remain forever in our hearts.

Overwhelmingly emotional band... it was a thrill to listen to their Slow Deep and Hard for the first time and their naiveté is still movin' nowadays... I do love these guys and Steele was a real energetic leader. Alas it's over, nobody can step up to substitute him - maybe nobody really wishes this to happen.
