Biohazard's Billy Graziadei Discusses 'Reborn In Defiance' At Hometown CD Release Show!


The highly anticipated ninth studio album by Biohazard is called 'Reborn In Defiance' and is set to be released tomorrow, Friday, January 20th. The expectations are high, and while many mistakenly thought that the band was finished once Evan Seinfeld (co-founder, singer, bassist) left the band last summer, the Heavy Music world will be caught in a devastating hurricane of musical greatness once the masses are infected with the NEW Biohazard!

After giving this album numerous spins, we truly believe that this is a contender for comeback album of the year. After seeing them perform a slew of these NEW songs this this past Tuesday (January 17) in New York City, during their hometown CD release show, Biohazard proved that they still have the attitude, energy, and powerful music that made them break all sound barriers when they arrived to the Heavy Music scene in the late 80s.

Before the event was kicked off by New York City Metallers Wrench and Ikillya, we had the chance to chat with Billy Graziadei (co-founder, vocalist, guitarist) about the bands perseverance, the challenges they have faced, and Biohazard's ninth studio album, which marks the first time in 18 years that the band records an album with their original lineup (Evan Seinfeld, Bobby Hambel, Billy Graziadei & Danny Schuler). Produced Toby Wright (Alice in Chains, Metallica), the NEW Biohazard album will be available worldwide January 20th, 2012 via Nuclear Blast Records. Without further due, here is our insightful interview with Billy!
