They released two albums: Carnivore (1985) and Retaliation (1987). The band broke up not long thereafter.
The first album is more traditionally metal-sounding, drawing inspiration from Black Sabbath, Motörhead and 1970s Judas Priest, while the second has significant hardcore punk/crossover influence. Both are fit neatly into the speed thrash genre, however. The lyrical themes include nihilism, anti-religious sentiment, a mockery of racism, intolerance, and general human stupidity, a heap of cynicism, and explicit tongue-in-cheek depictions of gore and despair. For example, this line from "Ground Zero Brooklyn" sums up the band fairly well: "I shit my pants as I wait for the reaper!". Song titles like "Jesus Hitler", "Race War", and "God is Dead" are also representative.
The first Type O Negative album, Slow Deep and Hard, was partially composed from material originally written for Carnivore.
Several reunion shows took place over the years. One of the shows was at Wacken Open Air 2006, where they had an 1.25 hour setlist.
Original Carnivore guitarist Keith Alexander died in a biking accident on July 11, 2005.
Peter Steele died on April 14, 2010, at the age of 48.

My cousin (John Campos) was the guitarist in Fallout and Original Sin. Was devastated when they broke up. . . but we got carnivore and type o . . used to watch them rehearse in Josh's basement in the late 70s early 80s. John ended up being a producer. Tons of talent came out of Fallout.

Lucky bastard. I met Kenny and Johnny walking down the beach in Biloxi Mississippi when they opened for Ozzy back in 96.

This was the song that got me to follow one of the best vocalist and bass player I know of. Lost way to soon.
