And the origin of that feeling was amply explained by Steele.
The record sounds like the angry, desperate resistance of somebody who's at the point of collapsing. Apparently he gets frustated in these romantic longings time and again, which arouses his anger, and finally he becomes a stranger even to himself.

He laments the babies of junkies, cracked at birth, and the women whoring for their addicted lovers he sings about his lover who is unfaithful and should therefore die, and interrupts these diatribes with idyllic lapses in which he describes other thoughts: 'I gave till it hurt, thought it was right' or 'there is no pain like that of desire'. It is not a very friendly song, but it is put in another perspective by the song immediately following it, Xero Tolerance, in which Steele sings about an 'type A personality disorder': 'Hatred obsessing me, hatred possessing me, anger burning me, anger turning me into someone I don't know.' In this scrap and in others, it becomes clear that the singer is thinking things he'd rather not think. Especially Der Untermensch, a song about junkies and jobless people, had to take it in the neck because of sentences such as: 'Why don't you get a job. The record was received well untill the lyrics were studied. The songs burst with clever changes of tempo, mixtures of symphonic music and gothic metal. Their first cd Slow, Deep and Hard (1991) combines metal with hardcore. Carnivore put lots of death, nuclear winters, machimo and barbarism in their songs they were in a way the musical accompaniment to the Mad Max-films.Īfter Carnivore split, Steele started Type O Negative. Type O's singer, Peter Steele, had formerly been the leader of Carnivore and used to sing quite unintelligible lyrics on the third and fourth world war. There were rumors that Type O Negative sympathized with fascist ideas. They were controversial, as everybody knew, but why was less clear.
