Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [5/18 – 5/24]

Honorable Mention

Sky Knives Offers Faithful Rendition of Type O Negative Classic

Florida-based metal band Sky Knives has released a cover of Type O Negative’s “Christian Woman.” This modern take on the song is a respectful nod to the late Type O frontman, Peter Steele. Sky Knives stayed true to the darker, more sensual elements that seemed to define much of Type O Negative’s music.

Fun fact: Sky Knives got the track back from the studio on the anniversary of Peter Steele’s death.
