Biography
Peter Steele was the singer and bass player of a crossover thrash band from NYC called Carnivore.
Carnivore were important in their blend of fusing thrash and hardcore punk. Their use of shock value was also of note, their lyrics were often on very tabboo subjects and they threw raw meat into their crowds.
After Carnivore disbanded Steele found fame as the front man of gothic metal band Type O Negative.
