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.\u003c\/p\u003e\nMusically 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.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLyrically 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.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\"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.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHere comes the reissue as Gatefold LP (Total Clear with Black + White Splatter)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-musictabs\" class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\"\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"tablist\" class=\"ui-tabs-nav ui-corner-all ui-helper-reset ui-helper-clearfix ui-widget-header\"\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"tab\" class=\"ui-tabs-tab ui-corner-top ui-state-default ui-tab ui-tabs-active ui-state-active\" aria-controls=\"mt-1\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" aria-selected=\"true\" aria-expanded=\"true\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-1\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" role=\"tabpanel\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-jukebox\" class=\"tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Jack Daniels and Pizza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Angry Neurotic Catholics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e S.M.D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Ground Zero Brooklyn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Race War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Inner Conflict\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Jesus Hitler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Technophobia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e Manic Depression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e U.S.A. for U.S.A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e11\u003c\/span\u003e Five Billion Dead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e12\u003c\/span\u003e Sex and Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e13\u003c\/span\u003e World Wars III and IV (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e14\u003c\/span\u003e Carnivore (Demo) 3:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e15\u003c\/span\u003e The Subhuman (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2025-12-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Carnivore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50197198405878,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/3716\/3949\/files\/carnivore-retaliation-deluxe-edition-limited-edition-yellow-w-red-black-splatter-colored-vinyl-gatefold-lp-jacket-reissue-2-lps_DLlxT.png?v=1774984062","url":"https:\/\/rockthistownrecords.com\/products\/carnivore-retaliation-deluxe-edition-limited-edition-yellow-w-red-black-splatter-colored-vinyl-gatefold-lp-jacket-reissue-2-lps","provider":"Rock This Town Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
