Type O Negative Slow, Deep, and Hard – (First Album 1991)

Type O Negative released their first album in 1991. The band is fronted by Peter Steele from Type O Negative. Slow Deep And Hard came out in 1991 on Road Runner records.

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.
