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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusically 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"main\" id=\"aec-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container landing\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-10\" id=\"aec-main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-product-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" id=\"mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracksonly\" id=\"aec-jukebox\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1 Jack Daniels and Pizza\u003cbr\u003e2 Angry Neurotic Catholics\u003cbr\u003e3 S.M.D\u003cbr\u003e4 Ground Zero Brooklyn\u003cbr\u003e5 Race War\u003cbr\u003e6 Inner Conflict\u003cbr\u003e7 Jesus Hitler\u003cbr\u003e8 Technophobia\u003cbr\u003e9 Manic Depression\u003cbr\u003e10 U.S.A. for U.S.A\u003cbr\u003e11 Five Billion Dead\u003cbr\u003e12 Sex and Violence\u003cbr\u003e13 World Wars III and IV (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e14 Carnivore (Demo) 3:41\u003cbr\u003e15 The Subhuman (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45511082279109,"sku":"CARNIVORE-RETALIATION-COLOR-2LP-3950","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/6023\/3669\/files\/4466549-3466297.jpg?v=1766064446","url":"https:\/\/shop.brooklynvegan.com\/products\/carnivore-retaliation-2lp-color-vinyl","provider":"BrooklynVegan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
