Do you believe in revelation? A revelation means a violent awakening to a brutal truth, ripping the blindfold off a doomed humanity. Carnivore A.D. triggers this apocalyptic awakening. They spit truth about a decaying world heading straight into the meat grinder. This EP acts as a warning siren for the impending collapse of society. The music provides the soundtrack for total global destruction.

Carnivore A.D. started off roaming the earth to honor the towering legacies of Peter Steele and Keith Alexander. Built by New York hardcore veterans Baron Misuraca, Chuck Lenihan, and Joe Cangelosi, they marched across stages worldwide, keeping the radioactive, primal fire burning. We all knew their pedigree from days in Sheer Terror, Crumbsuckers, Kreator, Whiplash, and Massacre. Now, they drop "Transmutation" EP, stepping out with original firepower. They take the post-Armageddon savage wasteland concept and inject their own blood into it.

The attack on "Transmutation" is relentless. Misuraca delivers absolute devastation on vocals and bass. Lenihan shreds through the toxic waste with vicious, flesh-ripping guitar riffs. Cangelosi destroys the drum kit with supreme thrash precision. They combine doom-laden dirges with high-speed hardcore assaults. The production handled by Jörg Uken at Soundlodge ensures maximum audio destruction. The whole sonic assault screams authentic New York street violence and nuclear winter survival.

Songs like "I Stand Alone" and "Social Decomposition" unleash pure audio violence. They rip through the speakers with ungodly speed and fury. The title track, "Transmutation", grinds bones into dust with massive riffs. Then "Mine Is The Hand" brings serious doom intensity and menacing aggression. Every riff smashes the skull with extreme force. The entire runtime screams aggression and defiance against a ruined world.

Carnivore A.D. dominates the wasteland with this explosive studio debut. They forge their own path of destruction through the radiation zone. The legacy of their forefathers remains sacred, and this new blood ensures the neo-barbaric war continues indefinitely. This EP is a mandatory spin for anyone craving savage, post-apocalyptic metal.
