Background

Explaining the title, vocalist Ice-T reported to Loudwire in 2018, prior to the album's recording:

"It's basically: 'Fuck vegans.' We figure, anything carnivorous pretty much kicks ass. We're carnivorous! I'm not [really] saying 'Fuck vegans.' Everyone's so pussy right now, [so] we're carnivores."[11]

The album art was created by Zbigniew M. Bielak.[12] It is the first album to not feature any songwriting credits for Ernie C.
