"It Ain't Quite Dead Yet" Type O: New Deal With SPV
Big Homos? You call'em dat, I dare yous."
As promised last week, we would not make the official annoucement till it was official, out of respect for our friends at SPV and our nemisis TON. Like DEVO, "NOW IT CAN BE TOLD!"
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
TYPE O NEGATIVE SIGN TO SPV
SPV is extremely proud to announce the signing of the legendary TYPE O NEGATIVE to a worldwide deal. "It is a true privilege to welcome TYPE O NEGATIVE into the ever-growing SPV family," says Manfred Schutz, Chairman of SPV worldwide. "They are a trailblazing band and we couldn't be happier to have them call SPV home."
For the past 15 years, TYPE O NEGATIVE have been dredging the dark depths of the human condition, becoming the planet's most prolific doom/metal band in the process. With a body of work that rivals any artist working in the heavy music arena, their consistent delivery of glorious misery has lead to a pair of gold records, a canon of classic material, and an influential finger in the dirty pie of every goth-infused metaller since 1990.
"It is an honor to have the opportunity to work with one of my all-time favorite bands " says Gunter Ford, president of SPV's American division.
"We at SPV America are looking forward to a prosperous relationship, filled with a lot of great music."
Details on TYPE O NEGATIVE's seventh studio album are coming soon. The "least best" has yet to be rendered. Stay tuned.
