Type O Negative’s sixth studio album, Life Is Killing Me (originally called The Dream Is Dead after the closing song), was released in 2003. For this album, the band picked up the pace of their sound from the dirgeful slowness of World Coming Down . Songs such as “Todd’s Ship Gods (Above All Things)”, “(We Were) Electrocute”, and “I Don’t Wanna Be Me” convey the band’s classic elements of melody, though the song lengths were much shorter on this outing, the longest being the 7 and a half-minute “How Could She?”, a list of female character names from television shows. The album includes a humorous cover of the song “Angry Inch” from the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch , detailing a sex change operation gone terribly wrong. Type O Negative left Roadrunner after the album’s release, having fulfilled their contract for the label.
