Former MOONSPELL Bassist Remembers PETER STEELE

April 16, 2010

Former MOONSPELL bassist Ares, who is currently involved with the Portuguese female-fronted act WITCHBREED, has released the following statement regarding the passing of TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele:

"These are sad and shocking news.

"I had the chance to tour with TYPE O NEGATIVE as a support band for their 'October Rust' European tour, meet Peter Steele and every single night I would watch TYPE O NEGATIVE take the stage and play; it was never enough. The impression he left was that of a gentle giant, kind, polite and down to earth.

"I was a CARNIVORE fan before and his voice and music deeply marked my youth and imagination as a musician.

"In my bass rig there's this Swedish Octave pedal that was offered to me by Peter himself and after 13 years or so I'm still using it reminding me of those glorious days.

"The reason why I felt I should dedicate some words on Pete is because during [WITCHBREED's] meetings as a band, TYPE O NEGATIVE is a regular mention as a source of inspiration and admiration for their music and Pete's unique vocal style and tone.

"Life sucks and your existence will be missed."
