According to ORF ON, Denial Of Life ended having a run in with the law while on tour with Darkest Hour and more in Austria. The band were allegedly pulled over twice near the German border, but still made their show on time.
The PRP shared more details on the report:
“An officer interviewed in the segment relayed that the band’s ‘camper van’ housed several individuals laying down rather than being seated upright and buckled in. Furthermore, authorities stated that upon being pulled over, the driver of the vehicle was found to be under the influence.
While police state the driver initially refused to take a drug test, he is said to have later acquiesced, upon which the police determined he was impaired from lack of sleep and use of an unspecified drug. Per the report, despite being told by authorities he was unfit to continue driving, police allege the individual then proceeded to get back in the vehicle and continue driving, leading to the police to pursue the band.
Upon being stopped again, police reported that another individual from the band’s party was behind the wheel by that time and was not impaired. The group were thus fined €2,000 and were able to make it to their gig in Nuremberg in time for their show.”
Earlier this year, Black Sabbath and the late Ozzy Osbourne said farewell with their star-studded “Back To The Beginning” concert in Birmingham, UK. Now, it appears the event may continue as a tribute to Osbourne. According to The Mirror, Monowise LTD recently filed a trademark application for “Back To The Beginning” in the U.S. for “entertainment services in the nature of live musical performance.” A similar application is also expected to be filed in the UK.

During an interview with Loaded Radio, Type O Negative’s Kenny Hickey confirmed that there has been talks about a possible Peter Steele tribute show. According to him, “a lot of people are approaching” them.
Hickey said the following:
“There has [been talks], yes. A lot of people are approaching us. There are a lot of agents [contacting us]. There’s money in it, so the more the value goes up, the more they’re gonna hound us.””
He continued when asked if Josh Silver is still uninterested:
“Josh is really, at this point, he’s very resistant. But we’ll see. We don’t know what’s gonna happen. Josh is about to retire [from his job as a paramedic] soon, so we don’t know what’s gonna happen. It all depends on how much money it’s worth and how much is waved [in front of us].”
He also added the following when asked if the band have a singer in mind:
“No, no. It’s a very hard thing to get my head around. If something really gets concrete, then I’ll really start thinking about it and painting over it, because there’s [also] the issue of the bass playing. [Peter’s] bass playing was more unique than his vocals. Deep, baritone vocals — a lot of people with a deep voice could do that shit and roll your Rs… But his bass plan was very, very unique.”
