Reacting to Type O Negative Frontman Peter Steele: In this psychological biography of Peter Steele, I take a deeper look at the man behind the larger-than-life Type O Negative persona. Drawing from Peter’s interviews, lyrics, biographies, and accounts from people who knew him, we’ll explore the psychology behind his humor, insecurity, stage persona, relationships, rejection, self-deprecation, vulnerability, and need for connection. Peter Steele was far more complex than the mysterious, vampiric, sarcastic frontman we saw onstage. His life, struggles, personality, and songwriting reveal a surprisingly grounded and sensitive person whose experiences with love, loneliness, heartbreak, addiction, death, and mental health became central to Type O Negative’s music. Type O Negative was formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 1989 by Peter Steele, Kenny Hickey, Josh Silver, and Sal Abruscato, who was later replaced by Johnny Kelly. The band’s classic lineup produced seven studio albums: Slow, Deep and Hard (1991), The Origin of the Feces (1992), Bloody Kisses (1993), October Rust (1996), World Coming Down (1999), Life Is Killing Me (2003), and Dead Again (2007).
