CARNIVORE reforming?

Former DUST TO DUST and current METAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION drummer Steve Tobin has been tapped by TYPE O NEGATIVE's Peter Steele to be the drummer in Steele's new version of CARNIVORE, which is planning on playing select dates later in the year. According to Tobin, two gigs have been tentatively booked in Europe, with more to come.

Steve recently recorded an instrumental rock/prog rock CD with guitarist Mike Orlando (endorsed by Zakk Wylde), and has done numerous studio sessions in L.A., Nashville, and New York. More information on METAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION can be found at this location.

Natives of Brooklyn, N.Y., CARNIVORE spent their early years in the 1980s earning a reputation as one of the area's most dangerous bands. Crowds would stare in utter shock as these instrument-wielding warriors would take the stage clad in futuristic outfits that typified the meaning of CARNIVORE.
Dressed to the hilt in fur-covered shoulder pads, spikes, hockey equipment, nails and anything that gave them the appearance of flesh-eating monsters, CARNIVORE frequently drenched the front rows of their audiences with blood, brains, and innards, provoking a maniacal reaction like frenzied sharks being taunted with buckets of chum.

Original CARNIVORE guitarist Keith Alexander (later of the short-lived PRIMAL SCREAM project) was killed in a bike accident on July 11, 2005. In addition to playing with CARNIVORE, Alexander spent a three-year stint with Dee Snider of TWISTED SISTER, touring extensively throughout North America and Scandinavia, with some audiences numbering over 20,000.
