October Rust is the fourth studio album from Type O Negative and the first to officially feature Johnny Kelly as the drummer. The album is notable for being a slight departure from the bands typical doom-metal infused sound, with a more goth ballad centric approach being taken. The record features Type O Negative signature tunes Love You To Death, My Girlfriend's Girlfriend and Wolf Moon (Including Zoanthropic Paranoia) as well as the band's infamous cover of Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl.
It is the first of the band’s albums to include a “joke intro”—in this case, Bad Ground, which is 38 seconds of low-level buzzing, meant to sound as if the listener’s speakers are incorrectly set up. The second and fifteenth tracks are humorous untitled spoken word intros and outros to the album, respectively, with the band downplaying the recording of the album. Another technique employed on the album is the heavy use of abrupt endings and segues to a few of the songs, heard on the tracks Green Man, Red Water, and Haunted. All of these elements provide an insight into the personalities of the creators, especially iconic frontman and songwriter, Peter Steele (RIP), and all are lovingly presented as intended on this 2LP 25th Anniversary Edition of October Rust.
