Type O Negative\'s Peter Steele has reformed a new version of his former band Carnivore and is planning on playing live later this year. According to Tobin, two gigs have been tentatively booked in Europe, with more to come.

Steve Tobin 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.

Natives of Brooklyn, new York, Carnivore spent their early years in the 1980s earning a notorious reputation. 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 intense reactions.
