Type O Negative: Dead Again (White Vinyl)

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.
