Leipzig’s gothic rock stalwarts The Fright have unveiled their own take on Type O Negative’s immortal classic “Love You To Death”, releasing it deliberately on a date heavy with meaning. The track arrives as both a tribute to Peter Steele, who passed away on 14 April 2010, and as a nod to the song’s 30th anniversary — a milestone for one of gothic metal’s most defining compositions.
Steele, born 4 January 1962, remains one of the genre’s most towering and unmistakable figures. His baritone presence, sardonic romanticism, and monolithic songwriting continue to shape generations of dark music artists — The Fright among them.
Rather than attempting a museum‑grade reproduction, the band chose to channel the song through their own sonic identity. In their words: “Instead of a faithful reproduction, we approached it in our own way — more direct, more guitar‑driven, and closer to a raw live energy. This release also marks the beginning of our Origins series, where we reinterpret songs that have shaped our sound. 30 years later. For Peter Steele. RIP.”
The cover marks the first chapter of Origins, a new series in which The Fright revisit the foundations of their musical DNA — not as imitators, but as torchbearers carrying these influences into the present.
With this release, The Fright pay homage not only to a song, but to a legacy that continues to pulse through the veins of the gothic rock and metal underground. Link
