Carnivore are famously known for being Peter Steele’s pre-Type O Negative band, but their self-titled debut is a forever underrated gem in the Eighties thrash canon. Straddling New York’s emerging thrash and hardcore scenes, this record roars with the speed and take-no-prisoners force of punk, and cuts that with the face-ripping riffs and wry humor of thrash metal. It’s an important document in the crossover thrash lineage, and songs like “God is Dead” and “World War III & IV” are eternal heaters.
