Type O Negative incorporates mainly gothic metal and doom metal into their music while some sections in certain songs utilize different genres including gothic rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, new wave, punk, hardcore punk, thrash metal, sludge metal, and industrial. Many fans describe Type O's music as "sad, depressed, dark, and haunted". 2.6 Peter Steele's death and the end of Type O Negative (2010).2.5 Life Is Killing Me and Dead Again (2002–2009).2.4 World Coming Down and The Least Worst of Type O Negative (1999–2001).2.3 Bloody Kisses and October Rust (1993–1998).2.2 Slow Deep and Hard and The Origin of the Feces (1991–1992).
