October Rust (1996) is Type O Negative’s most melodic and romantic album, blending gothic metal with lush atmospheres, dark humour, and brooding sensuality. Known for its rich production and dreamy textures, the album shifts from heavy riffs to haunting balladry with ease. Songs like “Love You to Death” and “Be My Druidess” showcase Peter Steele’s deep, dramatic vocals and the band’s flair for both beauty and gloom. With themes of lust, loss, and nature woven through tracks like “Green Man” and “Wolf Moon,” October Rust stands as a fan favourite—a seductive, melancholic journey that balances darkness with vulnerability.
