Is Type-O-Negative Christian?

Type O Negative's latest album, Dead Again, contains many religious themes which isn't unique for Type O Negative. However, this time round those themes are not portrayed in a mocking way or sexual way as they have been in previous albums by Type-O. The religious themes in Dead Again are actually quite positive and supportive. It appears the band, or at least their front-man has had some changes in his life...

look at these lyrics...

These Three Things by Type O Negative

The child is torn

From the womb unbaptised

There's no question

It's infanticide

I'm guilty so therefore condemned

Destroying angels must come to an end

Now in limbo

Deprived of paradise

That's not so nice

At the end I'll escort you to hell

The dark one's forces

Lock your flaming cell

To murder the ones unborn

The worst sin you've ever performed

There are two other things I will tell

Know them well

With due respect

Hear these words of caution

If considering an abortion

If you dig boiling sulphur

To which I will not concur

Leading to a path of misfortune

No one won

Of a land that shuns the son

So alien call it Area 5-1

Should there be failure to convert Zion

What came as a lamb

Returning as a lion

Not a nation but a self proclaim-ed state

Since the year of our lord 1-9-4-8

The road to redemption leads through deserts

Rocky though the trip through is well worth it

I am the duel of the fisherman Simon

He brought alpha, omega, yes I'm the one

The twins fell beginning Armadgeddon

So the whore too who dwelleth in Babylon

All his people gathered round

Through forgiveness salvation found

Some people think that scream (at 10:18 in the above video) is Peter saying "I'M A CHRISTIAN!".

Also, look at this...

from Wiki - Peter Steele

In April 2007, Steele revealed that he began identifying himself as Roman Catholic in recent years, after decades of self-professed atheism. In an interview with Decibel magazine, Steele explains “There are no atheists in foxholes, they say, and I was a foxhole atheist for a long time. But after going through a midlife crisis and having many things change very quickly, it made me realize my mortality. And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what’s after it. And then you start hoping there is a God. For me, it’s a frightening thought to go nowhere. I also can’t believe that people like Stalin and Hitler are gonna go to the same place as Mother Teresa.”[7]

What do you think?

On a different note (see what I did there), at around 12:18 of the youtube cut, you can hear the lead guitar playing the Hey Jude riff, as Type O Negative are all HUGE fans of the Beatles.
