Peter Steele, the driving force behind the Brooklyn-based goth/metal quartet Type O Negative, died Wednesday of apparent heart failure. He was 48.

Known for his vampiric good looks, morbid sense of humor and rich baritone, the singer/bassist was the author of such metal classics as "Christian Woman;" "Black No. 1;" "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend;" and the recent "September Sun."

Born in 1962, Steele played in a number of hardcore bands around his native Brooklyn before starting Carnivore, a controversial thrash band whose overt sarcasm and nihilistic views were the genesis for his most enduring and successful project, Type O Negative.

Since it's not wise to speak ill of the dead, I'll just say no comment!

I was so surprised when I heard about this. I was hoping it was another joke. Man.

[ToxicVomit]

I have only seen them once when they opened up for the Exploited in 1990. Good show......I sang "Maggie" onstage with Wattie that night.

I never really liked Type O's sound, but it does suck he died......

I never like Type O Negative too much but I LOVE CARNIVORE!! R.I.P.
