Type O Negative's goth metal sound grew from thrashy beginnings over the course of several records until the 2010 death of band founder and vocalist Pete Steele.
The Complete Roadrunner Collection 1991-2003 collects the lion's share of the group's best-loved material, beginning with its morally questionable earliest albums Slow, Deep and Hard and the fake live album The Origin of the Feces.
Transitioning from thickheaded misogyny and shock rock metal tactics on these albums, the set includes the more sophisticated musicianship of 1993's Bloody Kisses and 1996's October Rust as well as latter-day albums World Coming Down and Life Is Killing Me.
