Culled from a variety of quality sources and over 60 original interviews with those who knew Peter Steele best -- family, friends, business allies, various band mates and fellow musicians -- 'Soul On Fire' is a stirring account of Steele's unique creative genius and incredibly complex personality.Noted music journalist Jeff Wagner authors the biography of the late leader of Type O Negative, capturing the remarkable life and music of the man born as Peter Thomas Ratajczyk. The book, in Wagner's words, is "a thorough telling of Peter's life, from his diaper days to his death. 'Soul on Fire' contains analysis of the music Peter created in Type O Negative, Carnivore and Fallout -- and the many triumphs and personal tribulations that came along with it -- but also let fans in on the details of his early days. This book features numerous images from throughout his life, on stage and off. Peter's fans miss him, and as a follower of his music since 1986, I'm proud to have put together this tribute. While warring factions within the story have already been heard, my mission was cut through the crap and tell one of the most extraordinary stories in modern music, with great respect to the subject himself."Steele was a musical visionary and provocateur; a generous friend and a self-deprecating jokester; a band mate and a brother. His struggles with addiction and his acceptance of the Catholic faith he grew up with and then grew out of...all of this is surveyed and detailed within Soul On Fire.
