CARNIVORE - Retaliation. 2-LP (Transparent Blue Vinyl)

2024 transparent blue limited gatefold sleeve edition with 3 bonus tracks

Honestly, Carnivore is simply a perfect band. It's got everything from hardcore elements and crossover, to speed and traditional thrash metal that, to this day, remained classic and unique sound-wise. They aged well, they remained memorable, and with the two different styles displayed between their debut and Retaliation is amazing, experimental, and original. They're definitely the exception among other bands in the genre. Arguably, the debut album is regarded to be better, unlike the more modern-sounding and better-mixed production from Retaliation, but they're equally good, despite the significant differences. The best songs are Angry Neurotic Catholics, Ground Zero Brooklyn, Race War, Jesus Hitler, Manic Depression, and Sex and Violence.
