Personally I prefer Carnivore, but historically I have to name these other two New York bands first. (And if we’re talking outside of New York, DRI and COC as well). I immediately loved the band after my first listen and have been a follower of Peter’s music ever since.Ĭarnivore was a prominent band in the crossover style, plus the collaboration between Agnostic Front and Peter Steele on the Cause For Alarm album.Ĭarnivore were an important facet of the hardcore/metal crossover, but it’s really Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front who deserve more credit. Jeff Wagner: I was 14 or 15 years old when I first started seeing their name in fanzines in the mid ‘80s, and when I saw the first Carnivore album in a record store, probably early 1986, I read the text on the back cover and knew that I was taking the album home. ![]() Noisey: When and how did you discover the music of Peter Steele? Noisey spoke to Jeff about Soul on Fire, his mammoth Steele retrospective (now available for preorder via FYI Press). It's a tall order, but author and metal encyclopedia Jeff Wagner proved himself more than up to the task. We will not list the many achievements Steele notched in his thirty-year career, his eight perfect albums, or his unthinkable collection of panties rather, this new biography of the giant himself seeks to eulogize and humanize the coolest vampire of the world, the scene's biggest troublemaker, the ladies' man, the legend. ![]() ![]() It was a loss of great magnitude for fans of black humor and deadly music-the death of a genius, the real deal. After a false announcement of his death in 2005 by the group itself (these guys have always been big jokers), Peter Thomas Ratajczyk died for real after suffering an aortic aneurysm in April 2010.
