Quiz #30 - Type o Negative "Black No 1"

Well?

I expect the answers by Thursday July 19th.
In the comment form, as always...

UPDATED:

New York goth metal quartet Type O Negative is led by vocalist/bassist/songwriter Peter Steele. He formed Type O Negative in 1990 out of the remnants of thrash band Carnivore, along with his friend Sal Abruscato (drums).

Type O's music slowed down the tempos of thrash metal, alternately satirizing and wallowing in a glum mixture of misanthropy, misogyny, depression, and vampiric vocals. 1993's "Bloody Kisses" added surprisingly skilled Beatlesque melodies, and Steele's often ironic treatments of his depressing subject matter and the emotional and musical excesses of goth (particularly Type O Negative's brand) were deadly accurate and often very funny.

Abruscato departed following its release to join Life of Agony, at which point Johnny Kelly joined the band. "Bloody Kisses" slowly won the band a cult following, thanks in part to the video for "Black No. 1" and the band's constant touring, and the album cracked Billboard's Top 200 well over a year after its release.
