CARNIVORE Reforms As CARNIVORE A.D.

After an electrifying live performance of CARNIVORE material at this year’s Black N Blue Bowl pre-party, guitarist Marc Piovanetti is thrilled to announce that the band will officially reform as CARNIVORE A.D., with fellow original member Louie Beato and Joe Branciforte (DARKSIDE NYC, MERAUDER) sharing drumming duties, and introducing Baron Misuraca (VASARIA) on bass, lead vocals and blood curdling screams!

Baron‘s debut will take place at the band’s recently announced Halloween show, ‘A Halloween SteeleTacular’, at Bowery Electric in New York City on Halloween night (October 31). Additional monstrous support will be supplied by New Jersey’s BLOODFEAST, the mesmerizing and magical BLACK SABBATH tribute band SABBRA CADABRA, legendary L’Amour DJ Alex Kayne, and other special guests.

The Bowery Electric bash will mark this year’s final, official celebration of the thirtieth 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 classic ‘Retaliation’ lineup of CARNIVORE is reforming as CARNIVORE A.D., out of great respect to Peter Steele’s legacy while simultaneously distinguishing themselves from past incarnations of the band.

Otherwise, Marc Piovanetti is currently busy with his new band, CIRCUS OF STEELE – an all-original group formed in tribute to his fallen ex-bandmate and lifelong mentor, Lord Petrus Steele. CIRCUS OF STEELE are currently promoting their new single, ‘The Downfall’, which cracked the “Metal Contraband” Top 50 radio charts.

The single can be found on the band’s upcoming six-track EP, titled “The Zombies Rise”, which will hit iTunes this fall, after the band’s first-ever mainstage appearance, opening up for SACRED REICH at New York City’s premier metal venue, the Gramercy Theater. The band is current negotiating a record deal.
