Chronicles of Chaos (9/10)[2] Dead Again is the seventh and final studio album by Type O Negative, released through SPV/Steamhammer. This is the final Type O Negative studio album released before the death of frontman Peter Steele. The album sees the band using studio drums instead of a drum machine for the first time since their third album, the platinum selling Bloody Kisses. Thus, it remains the only Type O Negative studio album to feature Johnny Kelly's actual playing, as he was only "credited" as the drummer on the three albums prior to Dead Again.[3]
The cover photo is a portrayal of Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic and associate of Tsar Nicholas II, and likewise the lettering is faux-Cyrillic font. Reception to this album was quite positive among fans and critics and received the highest chart position for the band yet.
The album was re-released in February 2008, with a DVD including live performances, interviews, and music videos. A separate 3LP vinyl set was also released, which includes a shirt and 12-page booklet.

The CD comes in a standard jewel case with a transparent tray, but the insert folds out into the shape of a cross with Rasputin's head at the top. The media tray has the words "Снова Мертвый" (Dead Again) visible underneath along with Rasputin's autopsy information. The photograph on the back was taken in 1906, showing four young women of the Tsarist family, identified left to right as Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Nikolaevna.
