Love You to Death

"Love You to Death" is a track by American gothic metal band Type O Negative, featured on their 1996 album October Rust. The album marked a shift toward a more melodic, ballad-heavy sound compared to the band's heavier doom metal work. For electric guitar players, the song offers an accessible entry point into Type O Negative's signature dark, slow-moving chord progressions and thick, downtuned tone.

  • Type O Negative's heavily downtuned guitars are central to their sound, learning this song is a good introduction to low-tuning techniques.
  • October Rust features more ballads than previous Type O Negative albums, making its guitar parts more spacious and chord-focused than riff-driven.
  • The album October Rust also includes a cover of Neil Young's 'Cinnamon Girl', showing the band's range of guitar influences.

Kenny Hickey's SG Standard provides the lightweight, thin-necked platform essential for Type O Negative's extreme B-standard tunings without sacrificing sustain. Its set-neck construction and stock humbuckers deliver the warm, woolly character that defines their cavernous doom-goth tone.

The JCM800's high-gain tube topology, pushed to 7-8 on the dial, generates the scooped-mid aggression at the core of Type O Negative's heavy riffing and crushing low-end saturation. This amp's responsiveness to pickup output makes it ideal for their passive humbucker-driven signal chain.

The Dual Rectifier's thick, compressed low-end response complements the JCM800 for even heavier saturation in Type O Negative's doom passages, adding harmonic density that preserves note definition in extreme tunings. Its dual-channel design provides versatility between crushing rhythms and textured clean tones.
