Carnivore - Carnivore

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Carnivore is one of the most unique bands ever. This first album was their introduction to larger-than-life vocalist/bassist Pete Steele, and even though Type O Negative's epic brand of gothic metal was still just a glimmer in his eye, in retrospect one can already recognize the fascinating range of creative contradictions that would always characterize the 6' 7 man's work. Petrus Steele (as he was then calling himself), guitarist Keith Alexander, and drummer Louie Beateaux generally focused their energies on incredibly brutal and intentionally raw full-on thrash-outs like Predator, Carnivore, and Legion of Doom; plus they wore the Mad Max apocalyptic caveman attire on the album's rear sleeve to back it up! This remastered reissue comes with three noticeably hardcore-infused 1986 demos for tracks that would emerge on their sophomore album Retaliation, which was released the following year.
