Product Details

Following the brutal impact of their self-titled debut, Brooklyn's Carnivore returned with "Retaliation," an even more ferocious assault of crossover thrash that pushed the boundaries of extremity and controversy. Led by the commanding presence of Peter Steele (later of Type O Negative fame), the album delivers a relentless barrage of apocalyptic visions, urban warfare, and nihilistic rage.

Musically heavier and more refined than it's predecessor, "Retaliation" showcases the band's evolution while maintaining their signature blend of hardcore punk aggression and metal brutality. Steele's distinctive bass tone and growling vocals anchor tracks that range from breakneck thrashers to mid-paced, groove-laden crushers. Songs like "Mad Dog," "Ground Zero Brooklyn," and "Race War" paint disturbing portraits of societal collapse, while the epic title track serves as a savage centerpiece. Lyrically provocative and intentionally shocking, the album explores themes of post-nuclear survival, carnage, and humanity's darkest impulses through a deliberately over-the-top lens that blurred the lines between satire and sincerity. The controversial content sparked debate and censorship attempts, cementing Carnivore's reputation as one of the most extreme and uncompromising acts of the era. "Retaliation" stands as a landmark of late-80s crossover metal-raw, primitive, and unapologetically savage. It remains a cult classic that influenced countless extreme metal bands while showcasing the early genius of Peter Steele before his transformation into gothic metal royalty. Here comes the reissue as Gatefold LP
