Carnivore reunited in 2006. The last reunion was 1996 when original Carnivore members Louie & Marc joined Pete for a short week-long tour from NYC to Milwaukee.

Guitar tech John Watson played in Blood of Kings, and is now a guitar tech for Type O Negative.

Stan Pillis founded Underground Society.

The sound can be described as New York thrash, with lots of punk overtones contrasting with epic doom passages.
