![]() They wanted to add two weeks to the front of this tour. Josh: Last year we were in the process of recording and finishing that record and this year I imagine the band would collectively blame me for not actually doing the Halloween run. Tom: You guys didn't do a Halloween show this year, what was the reasoning for that? And you also didn't do one last year is that correct? Josh: Not that I know of, but that wouldn't be all bad. Tom: Cradle of Filth was on this year's OzzFest and there is a rumor floating around the Internet that Type O Negative will be on next year's OzzFest. ![]() Josh: Um, I like to expect nothing so that way I'm never disappointed. ![]() Tom: What can people expect to see when they come to a live Type O Negative show?

I think, ya know I hear elements from everything including Slow, Deep, and Hard, so to me I think its more of a summary. I think it's more of a combination of a lot of the releases. Josh: I don't think it's very different from previous releases. How does it differ from previous Type O Negative releases? ![]() And we, ya know, just take our time and hope it develops into something much more different than the last.
