“I want some people to be outraged – I feel like that would be atrue way to honor Type O”: Welcome to Nate Garrett’s Neon Nightmare, the Spirit Adrift guitarist’s ’80s horror-inspired tribute to Peter Steele

When Nate Garrett first heard Type O Negative’s (We Were) Electrocute in the 2003 horror movie Freddy Vs. Jason, he was awestruck by the blend of doomy riffs, rich, multi-textured composition and brooding atmospheres. Soon after, Garrett bought the band’s entire catalog and thrilled to every gloomy, glorious moment.

“I had never heard anything like it,” he says. “The songwriting and arranging were so ambitious. But there was always something that hooked you in.”
