Slow, Deep and Hard is the debut studio album by the American gothic metal band Type O Negative, released on June 11, 1991, through Roadrunner Records.

[10] Revolver said that the album was "noisy and angry" and "a far cry from the hooky choruses and doom-out goth of their 1993 breakout, Bloody Kisses," having more in common with the New York hardcore sound of Peter Steele's previous band, Carnivore.

[10] The lyrics were intended to be sarcastic,[10] though several songs, like "Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity," "Prelude to Agony" and "Der Untermensch", led to accusations of misogyny, bigotry and Nazism in part due to Untermensch (German "sub-human") being a blanket term used by the Nazis to refer to non-Aryans.

[10] "Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity" used the chord structure of Simple Minds' song "Don't You (Forget About Me)".

[10] On March 24, 2009, Type O Negative reissued the album with remastered audio, revised artwork, and expanded liner notes.
