Description

European Record Store Day 2018 single on green vinyl. Limited 3000 copies

I Don’t Wanna Be Me was released by Type O Negative on their sixth studio album, Life Is Killing Me back in 2003. Kerrang! described the song as “a highly-energized, sarcastic paean to self-hatred, waving a middle finger in their own faces as much as anyone else’s”, noticing an influence of old school catchy punk rock. At times, it even recalls the glorious heads down thrash attack of Peter’s previous band, the controversial Carnivore. On the song’s lyrics, guitarist Kenny Hickey claims frontman Peter Steele’s lyrics for the song were autobiographical: At the time, Peter wasn’t really doing too well, health-wise. He was getting sick of addictions and sick of life, hence the title, I Don’t Wanna Be Me. He didn’t wanna be Pete anymore. In 2018 Trivium decided to record a cover version of this song and this exclusive Record Store Day single features both versions
