After the acclaimed “Icon of Sin” (1999) and “Hyperlogical Non-sense” (2004), the band returned in 2024 with “Leave to Nowhere” – […]

Look who’s back! Well, no, that’s not quite right. Captain Murphy can’t really be “back” because he’s not a real person. He’s the rap alter-ego for Flying Lotus, the visionary producer who has continued making music while transitioning into a new career as a horror-flick auteur. Earlier this year, FlyLo released his joyously experimental EP…

The Who have released the official video for “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, taken from their newly issued live album Live At Eden Project, available now through earMUSIC.

Few rock bands can match the influence and longevity of The Who, and the new release captures a significant performance from the band’s later years. Recorded during their July 2023 appearance at Cornwall’s Eden Project, Live At Eden Project documents a concert that paired the group’s classic material with orchestral arrangements performed alongside the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra.

The show featured founding members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, who delivered a set that combined the power of the band’s catalog with the added depth of a full orchestra. The unique setting of the Eden Project, known for its striking biomes and environmentally focused mission, provided an intimate atmosphere and acoustics that differed greatly from the arenas and stadiums where The Who have traditionally performed.

The recording captures that environment, allowing listeners to experience the connection between the band and audience in a venue with a smaller capacity than many of the group’s recent performances. The result is a live document that highlights both the scale of the orchestral arrangements and the details of the band’s performance.

The setlist draws from multiple eras of The Who‘s career. Alongside well-known songs such as “Baba O’Riley”, “Pinball Wizard”, and “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, the album also includes less frequently performed tracks including “Cry If You Want”, “Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere”, and “The Rock”.

Live At Eden Project is available in several formats, including a 2CD digipak, a limited three-LP gatefold edition pressed on recycled vinyl and packaged without plastic shrink wrap, a standard three-LP gatefold version, and digital editions.

For fans of The Who, the release offers a detailed snapshot of the band’s orchestral era, showcasing a performance that balances classic rock energy with the expanded dynamics of a full symphonic backing. The combination of the Eden Project’s distinctive setting, a carefully selected setlist, and the band’s veteran lineup makes Live At Eden Project a notable addition to The Who‘s extensive live catalog.

Ireland’s most incendiary dissenting voice returns

Brazilian metal veterans Eminence return with “Silent March,” the crushing new single and music video that introduce the band’s heaviest and most uncompromising era to date. The track serves as the title song for their upcoming EP, arriving later this year, and features a special guest performance from Andreas Kisser of Sepultura, whose unmistakable guitar work elevates the band’s already explosive sound.

Recorded at Denmark’s legendary AntFarm Studios with world‑renowned producer Tue Madsen, “Silent March” marks a defining moment in Eminence’s nearly three‑decade career, a fusion of Brazilian metal identity, modern heaviness, and global production excellence.

The creation of the new EP began in late 2024, sparked by bassist Davidson Mainart, whose early riffs for “Silent March” allowed the band to complete the track in just two weeks. By early 2025, Eminence entered pre‑production at Audio One Studios in Belo Horizonte, collaborating remotely with Madsen in Denmark to shape the EP’s sonic direction.

Guitarist and founding member Alan Wallace describes the release as the band’s most intense work yet:

“I feel like we’ve captured the essence of Eminence while bringing in a heavier, more modern vibe. The guitars are especially intense on this one. The theme of the EP itself exposes structures, questions symbols and confronts the idea that faith, power and truth walk hand in hand. Here, there are no kings. There are no gods. Only the constant sound of humanity marching, in silence, through its own ruin.”

Lyrically and thematically, the single and title track “Silent March” is a brutal portrait of corrupted faith, blind obedience, and violence transformed into a system. The song depicts a voiceless procession marching under power structures built on lies, gold, and suffering, a world where martyrdom becomes industrial, and pain is mass‑produced.

Musically, it blends industrial metal, thrash, metalcore and death metal, delivering a modern, groove‑driven assault shaped by Wallace’s songwriting and the band’s collaborative approach.

The single includes a standout guest appearance from Andreas Kisser, whose contribution adds a layer of legacy and intensity to the track. His involvement reflects Eminence’s long‑standing connection to the Brazilian metal lineage and its ongoing role in shaping its future.

The “Silent March” music video expands the EP’s themes through stark, symbolic imagery, a world where identity dissolves, faith becomes a weapon and humanity marches toward its own collapse. The visuals mirror the EP’s narrative arc: the system collapses into mutation, a cycle with no clear beginning or end.

The single’s artwork, created by Brazilian designer Rafael Moco, continues the band’s tradition of powerful visual storytelling. Known for his work on Dark Echoes, Moco delivers another striking concept that reflects the EP’s themes of corruption, dehumanization, and transformation.

All seven Type O Negative albums, worst to best, with Kenny Hickey ranking the catalog on camera twice, Johnny Kelly weighing in, and our own list alongside theirs. Last updated October 28, 2026.

Type O Negative albums ranked is an argument every goth and doom fan has had, and this is the one version of it where members of the band take part: Kenny Hickey and Johnny Kelly sat down with Loaded Radio in June 2026 and talked through the catalog on camera, agreeing on one thing, that Life Is Killing Me is the weakest, and in October 2026 Hickey came back and ranked all seven, top to bottom. His No. 1 is the 1991 debut. Ours is World Coming Down, his No. 2. Below: the June conversation, Kenny’s full October list with the clip, our ranking of all seven with the official videos, and a discography with the drum credits nobody prints.

The rules: the seven official albums, which means six studio records plus The Origin Of The Feces, the 1992 fake-live album that the band counts and so do we. No compilations, no live albums. Albums are judged on songs, on how completely they capture what Peter Steele was trying to do at the time, and on how they’ve aged; sales and chart positions are listed but don’t vote.

How Kenny Hickey And Johnny Kelly Rank Type O Negative’s Albums

Asked about the band’s albums on camera in June 2026, Kenny Hickey put Slow, Deep And Hard first and Life Is Killing Me last, with World Coming Down and Bloody Kisses in his top tier and The Origin Of The Feces in his top four; Johnny Kelly, who called the exercise difficult because each era was personal, wouldn’t pick a favorite but agreed Life Is Killing Me is the one at the bottom.

The one thing both men agreed on is the thing most outside lists get wrong: Life Is Killing Me, the band’s poppiest and most Beatles-indebted record, is the weak one, and Kelly called that period the most disjointed the band ever had. Kelly stopped there; he wouldn’t put the other six in order, because every era was personal to him. Hickey didn’t stop, which is where the next section comes in. The full June conversation is on The Loaded Radio Podcast; Kelly on Peter Steele is the companion.

Kenny Hickey’s Full Type O Negative Album Ranking (October 2026)

Four months later, Kenny Hickey returned to The Loaded Radio Podcast and ranked all seven albums in order: Slow, Deep And Hard first, then World Coming Down, Bloody Kisses, October Rust, The Origin Of The Feces, Dead Again, and Life Is Killing Me last.

Kenny Hickey’s ranking, October 2026:

1. Slow, Deep And Hard (1991)
2. World Coming Down (1999)
3. Bloody Kisses (1993)
4. October Rust (1996)
5. The Origin Of The Feces (1992)
6. Dead Again (2007)
7. Life Is Killing Me (2003)

The October list is the June tiers made exact, with nothing moving: the debut stays on top, the two Roadrunner-era giants sit behind it in the order most fans would reverse, and the fake-live album outranks the real farewell. Our list below agrees with him on five of seven placements and swaps his top two.

The same October conversation produced the story of the one Type O Negative song Peter Steele would never play live, and the full episode covers Pantera, Seventh Void and the rest. Our ranking is below, and it starts where both members did: at the bottom.

Type O Negative Albums Ranked, Worst To Best

7. Life Is Killing Me (2003)

The last Roadrunner album and the last one made with the band’s full drum-machine method: Johnny Kelly is credited, but the record contains no live drums. It’s also the brightest thing they ever made, fifteen tracks of Beatles-and-Ramones hooks under the doom, with “I Don’t Wanna Be Me,” which went RIAA Gold as a single, “I Like Goils” and “Anesthesia” carrying a back half that sags. It peaked at No. 39, the same as World Coming Down, which tells you the audience was there. Hickey put it last in June and again in October; Kelly agreed, and called the era disjointed. It’s the band’s weakest album, and it’s still better than most bands’ best.

6. The Origin of the Feces (1992)

Roadrunner paid for a live album; the band spent the money on a studio session, re-recorded the debut’s songs, added crowd noise, invented an audience, staged a fake bomb threat mid-song to parody what had happened on the European tour, and turned “Hey Joe” into “Hey Pete,” with Hickey sharing the vocal.

The original cover was a close-up of Peter Steele’s backside; the 1994 reissue swapped it for a green-tinted Dance Of Death woodcut and added a “Paranoid” cover, Kelly’s first studio credit with the band. Musically non-essential. As a statement of who they were, essential. Hickey ranks it fifth, one place above Dead Again, which is the most Type O Negative opinion on this page.

5. Dead Again (2007)

The farewell nobody knew was one, made on Steamhammer after the Roadrunner deal ended, recorded in sessions Steele was often absent from, and the first Type O Negative album since Bloody Kisses with a real drum kit on it: Dead Again is the only studio record where Johnny Kelly’s playing is actually Johnny Kelly. It debuted at No. 27, the band’s highest chart position ever, on the strength of “The Profit Of Doom,” “September Sun” and “Halloween In Heaven,” a song about dead musicians that reads differently now. Peter Steele died on April 14, 2010; the band confirmed the end that November. Hickey has it sixth, below the fake-live album. We have it fifth.

4. Slow, Deep and Hard (1991)

Kenny Hickey’s No. 1, and the album the rest of the catalog is a reaction to. The debut is the sound of Carnivore’s Peter Steele becoming someone else: hardcore and thrash crashing into Sabbath doom, twelve-minute songs about infidelity and suicide, “Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity,” “Prelude To Agony” and “Der Untermensch,” the last of which got the band accused of things in Europe that followed them for years. Sal Abruscato’s drums are real and brutal. It didn’t chart. It’s their heaviest, angriest record, and the one that sounds least like the band people fell in love with, which is why it’s fourth here and first for the man who played guitar on it.

3. October Rust (1996)

The seduction record. Produced by Josh Silver and Steele, released in August 1996, Gold, No. 42, and the first album credited to Johnny Kelly, though the drums are programmed. “Love You To Death,” “My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend,” “Be My Druidess” and the Neil Young cover “Cinnamon Girl” made Type O Negative a band your girlfriend liked, and the album’s reputation has only grown. It’s third because its polish is also its ceiling: it is the most beautiful Type O Negative album and the least dangerous one, and the two albums above it are dangerous. Hickey has it fourth, exactly where it sits here but for different reasons.

2. Bloody Kisses (1993)

The genre-maker. Roadrunner’s first Gold record, in November 1995, and Platinum by December 2000, on an album that peaked at No. 166 and sold for years on “Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All),” “Christian Woman,” the title track and “We Hate Everyone.” Sal Abruscato played the drums live and left during the promo run; Kelly, then the drum tech, took over. Thirty years on, it’s the album that defined gothic metal for everyone who came after, and it has a book about it now. Hickey has it third. It’s second here only because the band made one record that cut deeper.

1. World Coming Down (1999)

Kenny Hickey’s No. 2, and our No. 1. Made while Steele was losing family members and himself, World Coming Down is the darkest, heaviest and most honest album in the catalog: “Everything Dies,” “Everyone I Love Is Dead” and “White Slavery” are not metaphors, and the three interludes named for a sinus, a lung and a liver are exactly what they sound like. It reached No. 39 with no Gold record to show for it, which is fair, because it isn’t a party album. It’s the one where the jokes stop. The best Type O Negative songs are spread across five albums; the best Type O Negative album is this one, and the guitarist has it one place lower.

Type O Negative Discography: Labels, Charts, Certifications And Who Played The Drums

Six of the seven albums came out on Roadrunner between 1991 and 2003, Dead Again on Steamhammer in 2007; Bloody Kisses and October Rust are the certified ones, Dead Again charted highest, and only three of the seven have a human being playing the drums all the way through.

Type O Negative formed in Brooklyn in 1989 as Peter Steele, Kenny Hickey, Josh Silver and Sal Abruscato; Kelly replaced Abruscato in late 1993 and the lineup never changed again.
