Retaliation is the second and final studio album by American crossover thrash band Carnivore, released in 1987 by Roadrunner Records. It was later released on CD in 1991 without tracks 4 and 9. It was re-issued with a different cover on January 23, 2001, containing three demo tracks from the previous album.
The same image was also used (with different editing) by the Italian hardcore band Wretched for the cover of their EP "In Nome del Loro Potere Tutto è Stato Fatto" released in March 1983.
In 2005, Retaliation was ranked number 316 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[1]
