Type O Negative: Dead Again (15th Anniversary Edition – Limited Splatter Vinyl)

The 15th anniversary edition of the final studio album from Brooklyn’s self-styled “Drab Four”. Dead Again is the seventh and final studio album by Type O Negative, released before the death of frontman Peter Steele in 2010, and subsequent dissolution of the band.

Dead Again (stylized as DЭДD ДGДIИ) is the seventh and final studio album by the American gothic metal band Type O Negative, released before the death of frontman Peter Steele in 2010, and subsequent dissolution of the band. It was released on March 13, 2007, through record label Steamhammer, a subsidiary of SPV.

The band uses studio drums instead of a drum machine for the first time since their third album, Bloody Kisses. Thus, it remains the only Type O Negative studio album with Johnny Kelly‘s actual playing, as he programmed artificial drums instead of recording with a physical drumkit on the three albums prior to Dead Again.

The cover photo is a portrayal of Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic and associate of Tsar Nicholas II. The lettering is in a faux-Cyrillic font.

The song “Halloween in Heaven” is a tribute to Dimebag Darrell,  who was killed in 2004.
