Fallout (band)

Fallout was founded in the late 1970s in Brooklyn (New York). The band consisted of four members - bassist and main vocalist Peter Steele (then under the real name Peter Ratajczyk), keyboardist Josh Silver, drummer and vocalist Lou Beateaux (Lou Beato) and John Campos, guitarist and vocalist. This composition was not only the basis for Carnivore, but also Type O Negative. In those days, the style of playing the band can be considered as deriving from Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Fallout songs dealt almost the same themes as Cranivore's first album. Under the Wheels tells us about death in the subway and Fallout with nuclear destruction. Rock Hard is a song about a little boy who can not accept the death of his girlfriend. When we add the song Batteries Not Included, we will have a complete list of Fallout songs. With a little help from Josh's parents, in 1981, Rocky released their seventh single "Fallout," consisting of two songs, Rock Hard and Batteries Not Included by Silver Records. It was only issued in 500 copies.

Josh, after every show, destroyed his keyboard with a baseball bat.

In 1982, the band broke up. Peter and Louie along with Keith Alexander (guitar) soon formed Carnivore, and Josh and John called Original Sin, whose lead singer was Cheryl Alter, Debbie Alter's sister, whose vocal and groaned lyrics appear on Type O Negative albums. / p> Original Sin, thanks to Silver Records released two singles, Penalty Of Love and Already Gone, and then the group broke up in the late 1980s to later transform into Carnivore's split sub-Zero, the beginning of Type O Negative. Peter and Josh again started playing, they wanted John Campos to join them, but other events prevented him from reuniting with the old lineup.
