Go ahead and raise your hand if you can honestly say you saw a Carnivore reunion coming. Yeah, that’s what I thought. Spearheaded by guitarist Marc Carnivore and drummer Louie Beato, the arrival of Carnivore A.D. finds the original members of the legendary Brooklynite outfit welcoming bassist/vocalist Baron Misuraca, who has arguably some of the biggest shoes ever to fill in those of Peter Steele, who of course went on after Carnivore disbanded to found and rise to international stardom with Type O NegativeCarnivore A.D., which will also feature Joe Branciforte on drums part-time, are set to play a Halloween show at Bowery Electric in Manhattan along with the long-running Black Sabbath tribute act, Sabbra Cadabra, and others.

Next time you think about saying “never” in rock and roll, remember this from the PR wire:

CARNIVORE Re-Forms as “CARNIVORE A.D.” with Original Members Louie, Marc + New Members Baron Misuraca & Joe Branciforte

Halloween “SteeleTacular” Show Announced at Bowery Electric in NYC Featuring CARNIVORE A.D., NJ Thrash Kings BLOODFEAST, L’amour DJ Alex Kayne & More

After an electrifying live performance of Carnivore material at this year’s Black N Blue Bowl pre-party, guitarist Marc Carnivore is thrilled to announce that the band will officially re-form as CARNIVORE A.D., with fellow original member Louie Beato and Joe Branciforte (ex-Darkside NYC, ex-Merauder) sharing drumming duties, and introducing Baron Misuraca (ex-Vasaria) on bass, lead vocals & blood curdling screams! Baron’s debut will take place at the band’s recently announced Halloween show, “A Halloween SteeleTacular”, at Bowery Electric (327 Bowery) in New York City on Halloween night (October 31, 2017). The show is 21+, begins at 7:00 PM, and tickets start at $20. Additional monstrous support will be supplied by NJ’s Bloodfeast, the mesmerizing and magical Black Sabbath tribute band Sabbra Cadabra, Legendary L’amour DJ Alex Kayne, and other special guests TBA. Get tickets here.

The Bowery Electric bash will mark this year’s final, official celebration of the 30th anniversary of Peter Steele’s thrash-core masterpiece, RETALIATION, with provocative tracks, “Jesus Hitler” and “Race War” coming to life to join today’s headlines, just as fresh and topical as the day they were first released in 1987. Official event DJ and longtime friend of Carnivore, Alex Kayne, will create an atmospheric audio-visual tribute to Peter Steele, the early beginnings of Carnivore at L’amour, and of the band’s second rise to prominence during Type O Negative’s golden run.

The show will include an after party with a VIP Meet & Greet available ($40), and feature Kayne spinning danceable heavy tracks by the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, The Cult, Rammstein, Ministry and more. A “Carnivorous Halloween Costume Contest” will take place, with meaty prizes like Kim Kardashian’s liposuction fat and real live blood from each band member. Rare photographs and “Carnivorous artifacts” (such as Peter Steele’s original handwritten Carnivore lyrics) will be displayed.

The classic “RETALIATION line-up” of the band is re-forming as Carnivore A.D., out of great respect to Peter Steele’s legacy while simultaneously distinguishing themselves from past incarnations of the band. Marc Carnivore states: “Last May, I was very fortunate to perform Carnivore music live again for the very first time in over 20 years. The jubilant and humbling reception I received confirmed to me that Peter Steele is gone, but his epic legacy is not forgotten. So this Halloween the two remaining original members of Carnivore, myself and Louie Beato, will open up the next chapter in the band’s ever evolving history. We will introduce the mighty Baron Misuraca, who’s stature and beastly growls have already awakened Peter Steele fans across the globe. A new official line-up of Carnivore will be introduced: “Carnivore A.D.”, a Carnivore for the 21st century. Everyone is invited to join us in this celebration, and to mark the 30th anniversary of Carnivore’s final LP, RETALIATION. I am also very pleased to have the honor of presenting this distinguished performance of Peter and Keith’s music to their own friends and family members here in the greatest city in the world, at New York’s Bowery Electric club. The “Carnivorous Negative family scene” is finally whole once again, and I can’t wait to see what the future brings.”

Right now, Marc Carnivore is also personally auctioning his legendary Carnivore guitar, hand-painted by Peter Steele for the band’s infamous 1995 “Soviet Invasion” show at NYC’s Limelight club. This guitar was used to record every single guitar track on RETALIATION and was a mainstay at classic Carnivore shows between 1986-1996. Any bid above $10,000 will additionally garner Steele’s original, handwritten lyrics to “Inner Conflict”, and a private guitar lesson. To make a bid, contact marccarnivore@yahoo.com.

Otherwise, Marc is currently busy with his new band, Circus of Steele – an all-original group formed in tribute to his fallen ex-bandmate & lifelong mentor, Lord Petrus Steele. Circus of Steele are currently promoting their new single, “The Downfall” (check out the video here), which cracked the “Metal Contraband” Top 50 radio charts. The single can be found on the band’s upcoming six-track EP, entitled The Zombies Rise, which will hit iTunes this fall, after the band’s first ever mainstage appearance, opening up for Sacred Reich at NYC’s premier metal venue, The Gramercy Theater. The band is currently negotiating a record deal, so visit www.circusofsteele.com for updates on this news and more.
