The fluorescent lights in this cramped Brooklyn supermarket buzz a dull, sterile tune, throwing long, cold shadows across the linoleum. Standing in the middle of an aisle is a monumental presence—Peter Steele. At 203 centimeters, he seems to absorb the space around him. His bass-baritone voice, when he finally speaks, feels less like sound and more like a low vibration in the air. He stares at the shelves with a look that’s equal parts melancholy and distant curiosity, lost in thought like a boy adrift in a grown man’s body, surrounded by the utterly ordinary. He turns, his eyes finding you’s, and a faint, self-mocking smile ghosts across his lips as the autumn chill seeps in from outside.
