Repulsion (5)

Two years after Carnivore was on hiatus, Peter Steele recruited long-time friend, Sal Abruscato, Soon after, Silver was convinced to join, with fellow childhood friend Kenny Hickey following suit. They originally named themselves "Repulsion" and "Sub-Zero," but after an extensive search through the Yellow Pages for potential names, they realized "subzero" had already been taken. Due to the band already having the "o" negative tattoos for subzero, they decided to name the band Type O Negative.
