Type O Negative is now streaming their performance of "Love You To Death" from Wacken 2007. The stream comes alongside another iteration of the Dead Again reissue, which you can grab here on LP, CD, and even CD longbox for all you old-school collectors.
"The first casualty of this album was the record company – which promptly went under after its release," said Type O Negative's Kenny Hickey. "Soon after, Peter passed, and then even the rehearsal studio it was written and developed in was burnt to the ground by Hurricane Sandy.
"As the black cloud continued its relentless path over Type O, Dead Again appeared and disappeared from the streaming platforms for years. Now that the storm has passed we have some slight hope of establishing a small illusion of permanence with this final release of Dead Again. We are sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused you."
In a recent interview, Type O Negative guitarist Kenny Hickey also explained why the hell Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin is on the cover. Long story short – dicks.
"For a long time, I was the one most likely to die, and then it switched over to him. So we were always waiting for somebody to die. After a while, it starts feeding into this mythology of 'Maybe he's indestructible.' That's what gave birth to the cover of Dead Again, of Rasputin.
"I used to call him 'Rasputin.' Because he'd get drunk and you [couldn't] kill him. He had a foot-long penis and he was dancing on the table. That was Peter. So I just called him Rasputin. That's how it ended up becoming the cover. And then that starts feeding into this mythology, and then suddenly, reality check, then you realize we're all mortal and everyone can die, and everyone will. So it's a shock."
