Slow, Deep and Hard is the debut studio album of Type O Negative, released in 1991 on Roadrunner Records.

Overview

The album, originally titled None More Negative and released in 1990 under the group's former name Repulsion,[6] launched the band's career. Slow, Deep and Hard is a darkly humorous, semi-autobiographical album with tracks 1, 3, 4, and 7 based on a failed relationship of vocalist/bass guitarist Peter Steele.[citation needed] The album's other tracks are "Der Untermensch" (Steele's controversial critique of minorities abusing the American welfare system), "Glass Walls of Limbo (Dance Mix)" (a facetiously titled ambient industrial soundscape) and "The Misinterpretation of Silence and its Disastrous Consequences" (a literal minute of silence). In keeping with the band's notable humor, the album's cover artwork is a blurred image of sexual penetration.[7]

According to guitarist Kenny Hickey, Steele based the main riff of Gravitational Constant: G = 6.67 × 10−8 cm−3 gm−1 sec−2 (later known as "Gravity") from the theme song of the 1964 American sitcom The Munsters.[8]

Roadrunner Records released a remastered version of Slow, Deep and Hard on March 24, 2009.[9]
