How would I describe the sound of Type O Negative? Type O Negative is in my creative DNA and they are apart of a rare group of bands and artists that I admire who creatively are pure perfection. A band whose unique musical language has been a saviour to me since 1999 and a band who have influenced every inch of my creative evolution, from when I played in heavy metal bands, had a brief solo career and now with the work I do in Galapogos. It brings joy and satisfaction.Įver since I was a teenager the “secret weapon” band I’ve always held onto has been Type O Negative. The end result of seeing someone get turned onto your “secret weapon” as a result of your recommendation is a sweet shine moment.
It is a natural process rooted in the part of the human condition that makes us want to both educate and compete. As your love for the “secret weapon” grows and as the musical world spews forth redundant hipster trend bands you become even more eager to dull down the hype and scream quite loudly about your “secret weapon” band and how they have been doing it for years and quite simply been doing it better.
In the early stages of such an obsession you can be quite protective of finding such a band and you indulge in a lack of sharing however when you connect with like-minded souls, the band at the centre of this obsession is always the first one you want to share. The kind of band that is so deeply personal to them yet at the same time is the band that they are so eager for the whole world to understand. Every person I know has that one “secret weapon” band in their collection.
