The Origin of the Feces

Released on January 1, 1992, via Roadrunner Records, "The Origin of the Feces" is the second album by Type O Negative, a band known for their unique blend of gothic and doom metal. Despite its presentation as a live album, "The Origin of the Feces" was actually recorded in a studio with a fake audience track added to create the illusion of a live performance. This clever deception adds an intriguing layer to the album's atmosphere.

The album spans 51 minutes and features eight tracks, including notable songs like "I Know You're Fucking Someone Else," "Are You Afraid," and "Paranoid." The album's title and cover art hint at the dark, provocative themes that Type O Negative is famous for, making it a standout release in their discography. The inclusion of a reprise in "Kill You Tonight - Reprise" adds a unique touch, showcasing the band's experimental side.

"The Origin of the Feces" is a pivotal work in Type O Negative's career, following their debut album "Slow, Deep and Hard" and preceding the critically acclaimed "Bloody Kisses." The album's distinctive sound and controversial themes have made it a cult favorite among metal fans. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to Type O Negative's music, "The Origin of the Feces" offers a compelling listen with its heavy riffs, moody atmospheres, and Peter Steele's signature vocals.
