For over two years, a collective effort by 783punx and various bands from around the world has culminated in the creation of 'Blast No.1', a tribute album that pays homage to the iconic sound of Type o Negative. This monumental project brings together some of the most influential names in grindcore, death metal, crust, d-beat, and powerviolence, all united by their admiration for Peter Steele's genre-defying legacy.

The album's artwork is a masterclass blend of classic Type O Negative style and symbols familiar to every blastcore fan. It's no surprise that many members of these noisy bands are dedicated fans of ToN music, with genre-pioneering acts like HELLBASTARD from the UK, SCHISMOPATHIC from Poland, PROLETAR representing Southeast Asia, and ABADDON INCARNATE from Ireland all contributing to this bold tribute.

'Blast No.1' is a daring fusion of blast beats, harsh guitars, and guttural growls, merged with the melancholy and atmosphere that has always been an integral part of Type O Negative's music. Fans of both grindcore and Peter Steele's iconic songwriting will revel in this unpredictable blend of styles.
