Origin Of The Feces

Origin of the Feces is the second album by Brooklyn band Type O Negative. The album was produced to sound as if it was recorded at a live show by adding crowd noises, banter with the fictitious audience, and even a song stopping because the venue supposedly had a bomb threat called in. The band is well known among fans for weaving this type of dry humor into their often gloomy music.

Some of the songs are fresh arrangements of tracks that appeared previously on Slow Deep And Hard. The song "Gravitational Constant" is now titled "Gravity", and "Unsucessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty of Infidelity" has been shortened to the more pithy "I Know You're Fucking Someone Else". This album also started the tradition of Type O Negative including cover songs stylized in their distinct goth metal sound. The covers here are of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid", and Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe", which has been adapted into "Hey Pete" for frontman Peter Steele.
