Type O Negative

Type O Negative was a gothic / doom metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York, US in 1990. They are
well known for their dry, morbid and ironic sense of humor and their often slow and brooding music.

"The Drab Four" (the nickname Type O Negative gave themselves) always succeeded in keeping their
own unique style, mixing melodic, classic rock 'n' roll with slow, doom-like vibes, and down-tuned
heavy metal guitar riffs with dark soundscapes. They were also known for doom metal riffs, deep
bass lines, heavy but usually slow drums and bass-range vocals of gothic metal.

XP8

XP8 was formed by Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion. The band, started in 2001 as a trio including
previous singer Paul Toohill and based in Rome, Italy , composes an airy blend of EBM, electronica, techno
and trance, bringing their various visions and talents to life with synthetic vibrancy and danceable beats,
crossing electronic genres with relative ease. Aimed at the heart of the dancefloor, the music keeps listeners
moving through the night in timeless waves, emitting subtle hints of the 1980s while slipping easily into
sounds of the new millennium: glitchy patterns, sharp simulated strings, and clear vocals travel through
bright sequences and brooding atmospheres.
