Apparently Peter Steele´s decision to pose nude for the August 1995 edition of Playgirl Magazine backfired, as he began to receive more and more sexual offers from men, and rumour has it that some of them were very persistent. While it´s easy to interpret the lyrics like that, and there certainly is a very strong homophobic element to be found there (I guess lyric lines like "To make it clear that you can't bone me, My tattooed ass reads exit only" and "Now I don't know whose ass you've licked, No shit-tongued boy will ever taste my dick" really can´t be misunderstood), the story behind the track is actually a bit entertaining. "I Like Goils" actually created quite a stir, with lead vocalist Peter Steele being accused of homophobia. "I Don't Wanna Be Me", "I Like Goils", and especially "Angry Inch" are all, at least to some degree, in hardcore territory. The most notable difference though is the return of more hardcore sounding tracks. I also sense a tiny light at the end of the tunnel on some tracks. "World Coming Down (1999)" is probably the most bleak and heavy album in Type O Negative´s discography, and while "Life Is Killing Me" certainly isn´t a happy album, the trademark sarcastic humour from the early releases is more present on "Life Is Killing Me" than it has been on the last couple of releases. While the music on "Life Is Killing Me" is unmistakably the sound of Type O Negative it´s still quite a different sounding release to it´s predecessor "World Coming Down (1999)". Their next album "Dead Again (2007)" was released through SPV/Steamhammer Records. It was their last album released through Roadrunner Records as their long running relationship came to an end. The album was released through Roadrunner Records in June 2003. "Life Is Killing Me" is the 5th full-length studio album by US, New York based doom/goth metal act Type O Negative.
