Type O Negative - October Rust [Rocktober 2LP Picture Discs]

Type O Negative pushed gothic metal toward lush keyboards, slow-burning melodies, dark humor, and romantic obsession on October Rust, while Peter Steele's deep vocals gave the album an unmistakable identity. The band's fourth studio album balances heavy guitars with melodic choruses and atmospheric passages, and this Rocktober edition brings the complete recording to a 2LP picture disc vinyl record set in a die-cut gatefold jacket.

"Love You to Death" builds from keyboards and measured guitar lines into one of the album's best-known declarations of obsessive devotion, while "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" turns jealousy and provocation into a compact, hook-driven single. "Green Man" leans into pastoral imagery and a slower, reflective mood, and the band's version of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl" reshapes the song around lower vocals, heavier guitar weight, and Type O Negative's gothic metal character, giving each track a clearly different role.

Originally issued in 1996, October Rust marked a major point in Type O Negative's catalog as the band combined doom-rooted heaviness with melodic writing, romantic themes, seasonal imagery, and Peter Steele's deadpan humor. This Rocktober pressing is a limited edition 2LP picture disc set in Rhino's 2026 brick-and-mortar exclusive series for participating independent record stores.
