Biography
Carnivore was a crossover thrash metal band from Brooklyn, NY, who existed from 1982 until 1990. The band was fronted by vocalist/bassist/songwriter Peter Steele and formed from the ashes of Steele's previous band, [a2335423], which also included Carnivore drummer Louis Beateaux. The original band was rounded out by guitarist Keith Alexander, who was replaced in 1986 by Marc Piovanetti. Carnivore released 2 albums and often came under fire for their lyrical content, which critics deemed as sexist, racist, and/or anti-religious, although most of the band's songs were done tongue-in-cheek and meant to outrage listeners. The band also had ties to [a=Agnostic Front]. Steele contributed lyrics to AF's 1986 LP "Cause For Alarm", which also featured Louis Beateaux playing drums. After Carnivore's split, Steele formed [a=Type O Negative]. Type O Negative's first album, "Slow, Deep, And Hard", featured a number of songs originally written for Carnivore. In 2006, Steele resurrected the band with a whole new line-up for live shows. Original Carnivore guitarist Keith Alexander died in July, 2005 in a bicycle accident. Peter Steele died in April, 2010, from heart failure.
