Peter Steele, Type O Negative Musician, Found Dead at 48
THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT's DEKKER Says PETER STEELE's Death Is 'A Great Loss' - Apr. 15, 2010
Guitarist/vocalist Michiel Dekker of Dutch extreme metallers THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT has released the following statement:
"Peter Steele passed away and I felt very sad about it.
"[TYPE O NEGATIVE's albums] 'Bloody Kisses' [and] 'October Rust' [were] the soundtrack of my teenage years and laid the foundation for my songwriting.
"When we started THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT back in 2003, almost more important than the music was the image of irony, sarcasm and black humor which was the trademark of Peter Steele. Later, when we deepened our sound TYPE O NEGATIVE became more and more a big influence on THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT. We honoured Peter and TYPE O NEGATIVE already with 'The White Crematorium' title track.
"Peter Steele and TYPE O NEGATIVE were unique and his death is a great loss."
THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT's reworked version of the band's 2005 album "The White Crematorium", dubbed "The White Crematorium 2.0 - The Revenge of the Failed", was released in Europe on February 19, 2010 through Twilight-Vertrieb and in the United States shortly thereafter via Epitomite Productions.
"Master Of The Bryansk Forest", the latest video from THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT, can be viewed below. The performance footage for the clip was shot at the 2008 edition of the Chaulnes Metal Fest in France by Metaluna Productions.
"Master Of The Bryansk Forest" comes off THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT's previous album, "Triumvirate", which was released in February 2008 via Twilight-Vertrieb. The CD was recorded at Ground Zero studio with producer Pascal Altena. Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Guido Aalbers.
