Dead Again

"Dead Again," the seventh and final studio album by Type O Negative, is a monumental work that encapsulates the band's signature blend of gothic and doom metal, released on March 13, 2007. This album, which serves as a poignant farewell before the untimely passing of frontman Peter Steele in 2010, is a rich tapestry of thick, Sabbath-inspired guitars, lush melodies, and a deep sense of romanticism and morbidity. The album's title track, "Dead Again," sets the tone with its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, while tracks like "Tripping a Blind Man" and "The Profit of Doom" showcase the band's knack for blending heavy riffs with epic, sweeping choruses. The album also features moments of biting sarcasm and dark humor, as heard in songs like "An Ode to Locksmiths" and "Hail and Farewell to Britain."

For the 15th anniversary of "Dead Again," Nuclear Blast has reissued the album with a live set, featuring 10 bonus tracks recorded at the Wacken Open Air festival in 2007. These live tracks, including performances of "Everything Dies," "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend," and "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare All)," provide a raw and powerful complement to the studio recordings, showcasing Type O Negative's prowess as a live band. The reissue comes in a beautiful, red-coloured digipack, making it a standout addition to any metal fan's collection. With a runtime of over two hours, "Dead Again" is a sprawling journey through the darkest corners of the human psyche, delivered with Type O Negative's signature style and unparalleled intensity.
