October Rust is the fourth album from Type O Negative. It was released in 1996, and has a more gothic rock feel than earlier albums. This is the first album to feature Johnny Kelly on the drums. October Rust has more ballads and less of the punk/metal sound of previous or subsequent albums. It also features a cover of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl".
It is the first of their albums to introduce the "joke intro"; in this case, the intro, "Bad Ground", is 38 seconds of low-level buzzing, meant to sound as if the listener's speakers are incorrectly plugged in. The second and fifteenth tracks are humorous intros and outros to the album, respectively, with the band downplaying the recording of the album. Another strange technique employed on the album is the use of very abrupt endings to a few of the songs, notably "Green Man."
