Type O Negative adds more 'Dead' shows

Goth-rockers Type O Negative have added a second leg of dates to their upcoming US trek as they look to build a fire behind "Dead Again," their first studio album in four years.

The run, which is scheduled to hit more than 30 cities, kicks off March 28 in Providence, RI. The newly added dates will take the band out for a West Coast swing, followed by a run through the Southwestern and Southern states before heading back to the group's hometown of New York City in early May. Details are included below.

The band will get opening support on all of its upcoming dates from heavy-metal act Brand New Sin, with black metal's Celtic Frost adding additional support starting with the April 9 show in Chicago.

"Dead Again," due in stores March 13, is Type O Negative's first studio album since 2003's "Life is Killing Me Again," which itself emerged after a four-year gap following 1999's "World Coming Down."

"Spacing the records far apart is how you achieve diverse results," keyboardist Josh Silver explained of the band's "slow but steady" recording philosophy in a press statement. "When you're forced to write an album every year or eight months, you haven't changed--you're still the same a--hole you were eight months ago. We've been different a--holes every record. We've retained our identity through all the changes."

"All of my music is based on what is going on in my life at the time and exaggerating it," vocalist Peter Steele said in the statement. "If I didn't exaggerate it, I'd be writing about what I had for dinner last night."
