''Bloody Kisses'' is the second album of original material by Music/TypeONegative, released on August 17, 1993, by Creator/RoadrunnerRecords. This album solidified recurring motifs in the band's music, such as the use of soundscape interludes, dark humor, cover songs recorded in the band's DarkerAndEdgier style, and a more gothic feel compared to the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness of debut album ''Slow, Deep and Hard''.

This is the last Type O Negative album to feature original drummer Sal Abruscato, who was replaced by Johnny Kelly for the rest of the band's tenure. It is also the first Roadrunner album to go gold, though Music/{{Slipknot}} beat it to platinum with the longform video ''Welcome to Our Neighborhood'' and [[Music/SlipknotAlbum their self-titled debut album]].

!!Troping you was like troping the dead:
* AlbumIntroTrack: "Machine Screw" is sometimes referred to as "Machine Screw (Intro)"
* AlternateAlbumCover: The digipak version has the two women on the standard cover kissing.
* AntiLoveSong: "Black No. 1" is a BlackComedy song about a man getting into a relationship with a beautiful {{Goth}} girl who turns out to be a {{Narcissist}} concerned with her looks as much as she "likes the dark". The man (Steele) compares loving that girl to "loving the dead", showing how exhausting it is to be with her.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Combined with a Music/TheBeatles ShoutOut in "Can't Lose You" - The ending of the song includes a deliberately hard-to-understand chant that sounds similar to one heard near the end of "I Am The Walrus", which turns out to be "Everybody smokes pot / Monte Conner sucks cock". "Everybody smokes pot" is a common mondegreen for that section of "I Am The Walrus" (it's officially "everybody, up, up"), while Monte Conner was the vice president of Creator/RoadrunnerRecords while Type O Negative were on the label.
* BlackComedy:
** "Christian Woman" is a blasphemous piece about a woman is sexually attracted to the image of Jesus and wants to engage in BDSM with Him.
** "Kill All the White People" and "We Hate Everyone" are satirical responses to accusations of the band being misogynists and Nazi sympathizers as a result of Peter's dark sense of humor being present throughout their debut album.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: The "But-Kissing Sellout" version of "Christian Woman", which was used in the video, changes some lyrics, most notably from "and between her thighs" to "she knows she must hide".
* CerebusRollercoaster: There is both dark humor ("Christian Woman", "Black No. 1") and grim seriousness (the title track, "Too Late: Frozen") throughout the album.
* CommieNazis: Mocked in "We Hate Everyone" in response to accusations made against the band.
--> "Right-wing commies\\
Leftist Nazis"
* CoverVersion: "Summer Breeze" was originally by Seals and Crofts.
* EpicRocking: Nearly half the tracks are longer the six minutes, most notably "Black No. 1" (11:15) and the title track (10:56).
* FranchiseCodifier: This album solidifies Music/TypeONegative's Goth/Doom style, following the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness of ''Slow, Deep and Hard'' and the fake live album ''The Origin of the Feces'', and establishes or codifies many tropes appearing on subsequent albums.
* GodIsLoveSongs: Parodied by "Christian Woman", by bringing out the mentioned-on-the-trope-page problematic aspects into the open: The song is about a woman harbouring PerverseSexualLust for UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}.
* {{Goth}}: "Black No. 1" makes fun of an ex-girlfriend of Peter's who was a goth.
--> ''"Ya wanna go out cuz it's rainin' and blowin'''\\
''Ya can't go out cuz your roots are showing''\\
''So dye 'em black! So dye 'em black!''\\
''Black, black, black, black number one!"''
* GriefSong: "Bloody Kisses (A Death in the Family", inspired by the death of Peter's cat.
* HalloweenSongs: "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)"
--> "Happy Halloween, baby!"
* MalcolmXerox: "Kill All the White People", which invokes "By any means necessary" at the end.
* {{Narcissist}}: The girlfriend in "Black No. 1" is "in love with herself".
* LimitedLyricsSong: Quite a few:
** The second and third sections of "Christian Woman" are repetitions of "She wants to know God, to love God, feel her God inside of her, deep inside of her" and "Jesus Christ looks like me, Jesus Christ", respectively.
** The printed lyrics of "Kill All The White People" are just "Kill all the white people, then we be free".
** "Set Me On Fire" is basically just repetitions of "Summer girl / set me on fire".
** "Can't Lose You" is pretty much "I can't lose you" repeated multiple times.
* LongestSongGoesLast: Not on the standard version, but the digipak version, which rearranges the track list and moves "Black No. 1" to the end.
* LooksLikeJesus: A more blasphemous variant appears in "Christian Woman"
--> "Jesus Christ looks like me, Jesus Christ."
* LyricalDissonance: The cover of "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts is a happy song made gloomy without changing the lyrics. The band originally recorded a parody called "Summer Girl", but the duo wouldn't let them use it on the album.
* ObligatoryBondageSong: The titular "Christian Woman" wants to engage in BDSM with Christ Himself.
--> "No forgiveness for her sins. Prefers punishment."
* SelfDeprecation: The message on the back cover.
--> "Don't mistake lack of talent for genius."
* SiameseTwinSongs: The end of "Summer Breeze" bleeds into the beginning of "Set Me On Fire".
* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Kenny Hickey has a co-lead vocal on "Black No. 1" and "We Hate Everyone".
* TitleTrack "'''Bloody Kisses''' (A Death in the Family)"
