NIGHTRAGE Frontman Pays Tribute To PETER STEELE

Vocalist Antony Hämäläinen of multi-national thrashers NIGHTRAGE has released the following statement regarding the passing of TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele:

"Peter Steele and TYPE O NEGATIVE have always been a huge influence on me. Not really musically as more as they were emotionally.

"I remember buying 'Bloody Kisses' on a vacation in America in 1992. It was like a new world opened up to me. I realized then that music was to show no limits. No compromise and no trends exist. Only what you really feel inside. I think Peter Steele was one of the only musicians I ever heard truly do this.

"To the rest of the band: We all feel for you. And we drink to all of you and the Wolf Moon.

"R.I.P. Peter."
