In 1996 Type O Negative released their fourth album October Rust that followed their platinum selling album Bloody Kisses.

Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says.
