 Carnivore
 Carnivore
 Review by Gary Hill

This is a new reissue of the first album from Carnivore. It includes three bonus demo songs and an extensive booklet. The lyrics to much of this are certainly capable of offending, but that was the whole point of it, to upset people. It was part of the concept of the band. For that reason, rather than noting which songs earn parental advisories, I am just going to give you a general advisory for the whole album. The music here focuses around metal and hardcore, but there are other angles and sounds at other times. It should be noted that Pete Steele went on to form Type O Negative after this band dissolved.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2022 Volume 4. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2022.
