TYPE O NEGATIVE: OCTOBER RUST Fourth Studio Album (1996)

TYPE O NEGATIVE: OCTOBER RUST Album cover

October Rust is the fourth studio album by Type O Negative. It was released in August 20, 1996. This is the first album with Johnny Kelly credited as the band’s drummer, although programmed drums are used on the album. October Rust has more ballads and less of the doom metal sound of previous or subsequent albums. It also features a cover of Neil Young‘s “Cinnamon Girl”.

It is the first of the band’s albums with a “joke intro”; in this case, “Bad Ground”, which is 38 seconds of low-level buzzing, meant to sound as if one or more audio leads is incorrectly plugged into the input jacks of an amplifier. Tracks 2 and 15 are humorous untitled spoken word intros and outros to the album, respectively, with the band downplaying the recording of the album. Another production technique employed on the album is the use of very abrupt endings and segues to a few of the songs, heard on the tracks “Green Man”, “Red Water”, and “Haunted”.
