Background information about 'Bloody Kisses - Suspended In Dusk (30th Anniversary Edition)'

Thirty years on, and "Bloody Kisses" still smells of clove cigarettes, wet Brooklyn asphalt and candle wax. Type O Negative's breakthrough is the rare record that made goth metal feel genuinely sexy and genuinely funny at the same time: Peter Steele's bass-baritone rolling around in the low end like a man who knows exactly how ridiculous and how devastating he sounds, Josh Silver's keyboards draping everything in cathedral-sized reverb, and riffs that swing when they should be crushing. "Christian Woman" is a nine-minute sermon you never want to end, "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)" is the greatest goth anthem ever written and knows it, and the cover of "Summer Breeze" turns a soft-rock standard into something genuinely sinister. The band's humor is all over the place too — the interludes, the titles, the sheer audacity of a doom band from Brooklyn deciding to be this catchy.

This anniversary edition spreads the record across two discs and lets the bonus material breathe. The second half is where the collectors will lose their minds: the legendary "Suspended In Dusk", a take on "Black Sabbath" complete with the band's own "From The Satanic Perspective" version, single edits of "Christian Woman" and "Black No. 1", and the Rick Rubin mix of "Summer Breeze". It's a proper excavation rather than a lazy reissue — the kind of package that reminds you how strange and how singular this band really was. Nobody before or since has sounded remotely like them, and this is the album where the whole beautiful, morbid joke landed perfectly.

For fans of: Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Tiamat, Sentenced, The Sisters of Mercy
