I will take a swan dive off the World Trade Center hopefully on top of someone I hate,” Type O Negative’s Peter Steele quipped while promoting his greatest commercial accomplishment, ‘96’s October Rust.

He will be missed by a legion of Goth fans still unearthing Type O Negative’s worthy catalogue. People think I’m into metaphysical spiritualism.
