Type O Negative came from the ashes of the band called Carnivore that Peter Steel created back in the 80's. Type O has also incorporated genres of music such as doom metal, thrash metal, blues, punk rock/hardcore punk, alternative rock and, progressive rock and often describe their sound as Black Sabbath-meets-The Beatles, both of whose songs they have covered.
