In June 2004, Type O Negative signed to the Steamhammer imprint of SPV Records . Their only album for the label, Dead Again , was released in 2007, and debuted at No. 27 in the United States, the band’s highest chart debut to date. At the same time, Peter Steele’s previous band, Carnivore, reunited with a new lineup that performed at the Wacken Open Air in 2006. Their influence is heard on Dead Again with the thrash and punk -influenced title track and “Tripping a Blind Man”, while the slower ” The Profit of Doom ” and ” September Sun ” retain the gothic doom the band is known for. They continued to tour through October of that year, including a performance at the Rock am Ring festival in Germany.
