Carnivore to Pay Tribute to Peter Steele at “30 Years of Retaliation”

Brooklyn born Carnivore is set to rise again to honor the life of founder and frontman, the late Peter Steele at “30 Years of Retaliation,” on May 20th at Bowery Electric in New York City.

In a recent statement, Carnivore guitarist Marc Marc Piovanetti had this to say: "I'd like to thank the Black N' Blue Bowl for hosting this year's first official anniversary set celebrating 30 years of Peter Steele's crossover masterpiece, 'Retaliation'! This incredible opportunity to finally stage my favorite musicians and perform a long-awaited showcase of songs only from CARNIVORE's 'Retaliation' is literally a dream come true.

"I've been trying to plan a proper tribute to Peter Steele's legacy ever since his untimely passing in 2010. I never got a chance to thank Peter for his incredibly positive influence on both my music and my personal life, so this show really means a lot to me. In my opinion, I think it's already kicked off the 2017 anniversary celebration worldwide. Every day fans from Europe, Asia, South America, Brooklyn, Vinnland and just about everywhere else ask me which songs we're going to play and what song we're going to open with.

"Aside from myself, there's only one other surviving original member of CARNIVORE, so I feel it's an important duty to carry on the legacy of the band. This performance is where CARNIVORE's fans, both young and 'vintage,' can finally witness the power and madness of Peter's legendary (and legendarily controversial) personal diary of thrash and mosh, live, in the flesh. I'll also be singing lead vocals at the show for the first time ever! So please wish me luck, and I'll see ya' 5/20... Children of Technology!"
