Type O Negative The Best of | CD

Additional personnel: Sal Abruscato (drums).
This 2006 set is the second Type O Negative compilation issued by Roadrunner Records, and it presents many of the New York City-based goth-metal act's finest moments from its 1991-2003 stint for the label. Driven by the twisted (and often darkly humorous) vision of burly singer/bassist Pete Steele, the band offers up the brooding anthem "Black No. 1" and an amped-up, mascara-lined take on Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl," among the disc's 12 tracks. Given that a little of Steele's vampirical persona goes a long way, this collection is just the right dose of Type O Negative for the average shadow-dweller.
