Type O Negative - Everything You Wanted To Know About Peter Steele But Were Afraid ​To Ask

Here are some random Peter Steele facts you probably don’t know:

  • Slow, Deep, and Hard is a self-financed demo that was supposed to be the 3rd Carnivore album.
  • Roadrunner Records would not bind Peter to a 5 album deal he had signed as the songwriter for Carnivore. He was not allowed to shop Type O Negative to other labels. This is why the demo Repulsion/Carnivore became the first album.
  • Peter Steele worked for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation until he was 29 and began touring with Type O in 1994.
  • Type O Negative’s first out-of-town show was in Atlanta, GA. A College radio show (Wreckage) paid to fly Peter up the day of the show so he wouldn’t miss work.
  • Peter Steele claimed that posing for Playgirl was nothing more than a publicity stunt. When bandmate Josh showed him the statistic that 74% of Playgirl readers were men, he says it is “something he regrets”.
  • Peter Steele appeared on the Jerry Springer Show as part of the Playgirl publicity in an episode of groupies.
  • Peter Steele wrote the lyrics on the Agnostic Front Cause For Alarm Album.
