"October Rust is an album that is far from disappointing. It is a beautiful collection of songs and ballads containing elements of rock, metal, and gothic styles. With devotion, tranquility, lust, and heartbreak being recurring themes throughout, October Rust really encapsulates key aspects of the human condition all while romanticizing it with supernatural elements. The chemistry of the band’s four members is evident throughout the entirety of the album as each of them deliver such complementary instrumentation. This is the record that showcased Peter Steele’s true ability as a lyricist and established the band as goth metal icons. Each and every song on the record is completely unique, making for an exciting and compelling musical journey. October Rust is a masterpiece to say the least and the outstanding legacy of Peter Steele and Type O Negative lives on within every single track."
