Deluxe 30th Anniversary Colored Vinyl 2LP Reissue with Remastered Audio, Gatefold Packaging and Exclusive Fold-Out Poster!

Brooding dark-rock icons Type O Negative’s groundbreaking early records – like their debut, Slow, Deep And Hard, the platinum Bloody Kisses and the gold-selling October Rust – displayed a sonic Venn Diagram where metal, goth and electro/industrial scenes forged a commonality that was fresh and engaging. The Brooklyn, NY outfit’s singular menace, noise, darkness and catharsis would continue to influence for another decade plus until vocalist, bassist, and principal songwriter Peter Steele’s death in 2010.

Originally issued on Roadrunner Records in 1991, debut Slow, Deep and Hard was originally titled None More Negative and released in 1990 under the group’s former name Repulsion. Launching the band’s career as we know it, the album has a rawness that was prominent in Steele’s previous band, Carnivore, but incorporates elements that became the standard for Type O Negative going forward, merging styles including doom metal, gothic rock, new wave and industrial music. The record’s infamous cover image (voted one of the ‘Ten Greatest Covers in Roadrunner History’ by the label’s worldwide staff) is a close-up stolen from a pornography magazine.

For the 30th anniversary of Slow, Deep and Hard, Roadrunner Records in conjunction with Run Out Groove, reissue the album in all its remastered glory on colored vinyl 2LP with tip-on gatefold packaging and an exclusive fold out color poster.
