Kenny hickeys guitar tone alone saved me from addiction and depression. I can’t express enough how thankful I am to have found type o.

He's exactly right. I remember seeing the Black No. 1 video when it premiered on Headbanger's Ball right around Halloween. I got the album and still listen to that song every Halloween. Those were very tough times and their music still reminds me of how they were always part of me just trying to heal. R.I.P. Peter Steele

Speaking from experience yes, this is true in several ways. I believe Pete said it was Sonic therapy 💚

I have fond memories of listening to October Rust with my friend back in high school. He was (and still is) a big fan of Type O. The band grew on me as well. Btw, October Rust is aptly titled, because it’s a great album for the Fall season! 🎃 R.I.P., Peter Steele.

I grew up with their music, definitely a healing element 🖤💚

[seraphale]

Youse were there for meeee! 😄 In ways that were so sincerely impactful that they'll last forever. The best kind of healing happens when you aren't forced to choose between making progress and enjoying yourself. Successfully "unsuccessfully coping"...🖤💚🖤
