Ep. 252: In The Shadow Of… TYPE O NEGATIVE

This week: the 2nd in a newer series called “In The Shadow Of...”, where we compare obscure bands to a mainstream act. This is not about copycats or copybats, but more so about artists that have similar vibes to a band who has become synonymous with Gothtober; the one and only TYPE O NEGATIVE! Join us as we discover other bands who were influenced and inspired by TYPE O’s gothic metal greatness.

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This is not a statement about bands trying to copy one another, but more that they have a shared sound and vision. It’s been said that there is no originality left in rock n’ roll and also been stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new!

Songs this week include:

1. A Pale Horse Named Death – “Shallow Grave” from Lay My Soul To Waste (2013)
2. Frown – “Last Summer Days” from Lunar Brightshine And Fiery Splendour (2003)
3. Unto Others – “Double Negative” from Mana (2019)
4. Marble Orchard – “Liar’s Tongue” from Building Monuments To Misery (2023)
5. Seventh Void – “Slow Decent” from Heaven Is Gone (2009)
6. Orphans Of Dusk – “Spleen” from Spleen (2023)
