Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly has uncovered an unreleased song from the October Rust recording sessions while going through a collection of old cassettes. In a new interview with Scott Penfold of Loaded Radio, Kelly said (transcribed by Blabbermouth): “I dug up a whole bunch of cassettes recently, and I found a lot of stuff — demos. I actually found a song that we never used.”

The cassette originated from writing sessions Kelly attended at keyboardist Josh Silver‘s home. “I would go to [Type O Negative keyboardist] Josh‘s [Silver] house when we were working on the records. I would always go home, say, after the day we were working on a song. This was back when cassettes [laughs] were being used. CDs really weren’t standard yet, as far as in the studio for refs and stuff like that. So I have a bunch of ref[erence] cassettes from demos that we did and stuff. And then I was just listening to them, and I came across the song. Part of it wound up getting cannibalized. Parts of the song wound up on other songs, on Life Is Killing Me and stuff like that. But it’s a complete song.”

Kelly said the track was cut from October Rust for not being strong enough, but could work as archival material three decades later: “At the time, the song wasn’t strong enough to be on October Rust. And if we were releasing October Rust today, it still wouldn’t make the record… But 30 years later, to release it as a bonus track on something, it’s worth it — it’s worth it for that. Now, if we can get a good transfer from a cassette and actually get a good mastering out of it and make it sound good…”

On the timing relative to a previously announced live album, Kelly said: “This year is the 30th anniversary of October Rust, but I don’t know if it’s good policy to have the [previously announced Type O Negative] live record coming out this year and a box set for October Rust. Maybe. I don’t know. We’ll have to see. But right now I’m just going through the cassettes and seeing what I have.”

Kelly confirmed the live album is likely heading to Nuclear Blast: “We were gonna put it out with one label, and now I believe we’re doing it with Nuclear Blast.” A release is tentatively planned for late 2026 or early 2027.

Type O Negative formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 1990 around frontman Peter Steele (born Petrus T. Ratajczyk on Jan. 4, 1962), alongside Silver, guitarist Kenny Hickey, and drummer Sal Abruscato, who was later replaced by Kelly. The band built their catalog through albums including Bloody Kisses (1993) — featuring “Black No. 1” — October Rust (1996), World Coming Down (1999), Life Is Killing Me (2003), and Dead Again (2007). Steele died in April 2010 of heart failure at 48, effectively ending the band.

In January, Def Leppard released a new single, “Rejoice,” ahead of their Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace, which ran from Feb. 3 through Feb. 28. In January 2025, the band released a cover of Ben E. King‘s 1961 classic “Stand By Me” as a benefit for FireAid, with all proceeds going to those affected by the Los Angeles fires. The cover also appears in the Netflix film Bank Of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger.

In June 2024, Def Leppard released “Just Like 73,” featuring a guest guitar solo from Rage Against The Machine‘s Tom Morello. Their 12th studio album, Diamond Star Halos, came out in 2022, followed in 2023 by Drastic Symphonies — a reimagining of classic material with London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra recorded at Abbey Road. That album spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Current Classical chart.

Guitarist Vivian Campbell, who joined Def Leppard in 1992 after earlier work with Dio and Whitesnake, underwent a bone marrow transplant in late 2024 as part of his ongoing treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a condition he disclosed publicly in June 2013. In June 2025, Campbell confirmed he is “completely in remission.” Def Leppard was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2019.

Dairy Queen is a useful scene-setting device. Like John Mellencamp name-checking the Tastee-Freez, songwriters have been dropping DQ into their songs to evoke a small-town milieu for decades. From Alabama and Alan Jackson to Brad Paisley and Luke Combs, country artists often reference Dairy Queen to connote innocence, community, and working-class grit. Those same humble associations can be wielded negatively. For up-and-coming indie band Charly Bliss, DQ signified resignation to a life of unfulfilled dreams. For city-dweller David Byrne, it was a mystifying alien institution. Wednesday are staunch defenders of Southern living, but when seeking to paint a picture of rural desolation, Karly Hartzman titled her song “The Burned Down Dairy Queen.”
