BIOHAZARD Enter The Studio Without Evan Seinfeld; Band To Record Follow Up To 'Reborn In Defiance'!

NYHC legends BIOHAZARD have enter the studio to begin writing and demoing the follow-up to this year's 'Reborn In Defiance'. The band decided to start working on NEW music, since there were a lot of uncontrollable situations that kept the bands latest album 'Reborn In Defiance' (released ONLY in Europe on January 20 via Nuclear Blast Records). Two situations that really affected the progress of the band were:

- The departure of singer/bassist Evan Seinfeld from the band right after the completion of 'Reborn In Defiance'

- Not being able to release the record in the United States and other territories for reasons beyond the bands control.

As soon as Seinfeld left the band, the remaining members of BIOHAZARD - Billy Graziadei, Bobby Hambel and Danny Schuler - recruited Scott Robers to take Seinfeld's place. Roberts, who played on the band's 2005 "Means To An End" album and has been part of the BIOHAZARD extended family ever since.

Stay tuned for more BIOHAZARD news!

BIOHAZARD: Fan Loses Consciousness At The Bands Concert In Slovakia - Video Available!


This past Sunday, July 15, a fan lost consciousness after stage diving during BIOHAZARD's concert in Kosice, Slovakia. Thankfully, after noticing the passed out fan on the floor of the venue, the bands guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei immediately stopped the show and called for the crowd to move forward so that the fan could receive assistance. He told the audience over the PA system, "If you're gonna jump off stage, you've gotta catch each other. We're fucking brothers, we're fucking sisters. One fucking scene. I don't want anybody to get hurt."

According to reports from other people attending the concert, the fan in question did not sustain any serious injuries and he regained consciousness a short time later.

Today, Graziadei posted the following comment on his Facebook page:

"I GREW UP stage diving (as most of us did), it was the biggest challenge at a show; getting past security, pledging your love for the band you were watching by launching yourself off the stage! Sometimes I was caught but more times than not, I wasn't. I have the scars from stitches and many concussions I carry with pride as "war wounds" from shows. Like many others, I've spent the night in the hospital after shows more times than I care to remember. Do I regret it? F*ck no! Just like all of my friends/family around the world from OUR subculture of which I proudly consider my self part of, I carry these scars and memories with pride as we ALL do. Is a sad thing when someone get's hurt and it pains me to watch this video. I'm happy to say our friend David is OK, he is home from the hospital! With the sad event that went down in Czech Republic, our hearts go out to everyone involved! I'm glad this story had a happier ending!"



BIOHAZARD's European Tour (remaining tour dates):

17.07. Cham – L.A. (Germany) + SIX REASONS TO KILL
20.07. Tokaj – Hegyalja Festival (Hungary)

BIOHAZARD Reveal Contest Winner For "Vengeance Is Mine" Video & Announce Summer Tour Dates!

Hardcore veterans Biohazard have chosen Travis Campbell’s video for “Vengeance Is Mine” as the grand prize winner of their music video contest. Using their Facebook page, the band challenged fans to create their own music video for a track off of their MEW album 'REBORN IN DEFIANCE'.  Submissions were uploaded to Youtube, and the band unanimously agreed on Travis’ entry as the first official video for 'REBORN IN DEFIANCE'.

Vocalist / guitarist Billy Graziadei says, “Without the help of extra footage, Travis took some classic imagery from our previous videos and made it all work for Vengeance is Mine... pure awesomeness!  Be on the lookout for some great things to come from him!"

The winning video consists of clips from the band’s music videos from previous years cleverly synched so they appear to be performing the NEW song, “Vengeance Is Mine”, interspersed with footage of social strife throughout history. Watch it now!



Travis explains, “I have been a Biohazard fan since the early 90s and have always been influenced by their videos and social commentary and wanted to show my respect and appreciation for a band that has helped me get through some rough times throughout the years.  I started watching all the old Bio vids and got the idea of taking all the material and cutting it in a NEW way and adding in civil unrest footage from Occupy Wall Street, the Civil Rights Era, and other events like Bloody Sunday.  The hardest part was getting the synch right, having Billy from 1994 singing to a phrase in 2012 proved quite challenging!  In the end I am proud of the video and I am elated that Biohazard likes it as well.”

Travis will be rewarded with the “DFL Grand Prize”, which guarantees him free Biohazard tickets and AAA passes for himself and a friend to all Biohazard shows, for life.  First runner up Randy Memoli (“Reborn”) and second runner up Kareem Girgis (Come Alive) will each receive a ticket to all Biohazard shows for life. 

Billy adds, “We got a lot of great submissions that all rocked! Thank you to everyone who spent their time and talent on making their own great videos, DFL forever!”

Biohazard recently added a string of July dates to their summer touring of select European festivals and will continue to tour internationally throughout the year in support of REBORN IN DEFIANCE.  The summer dates are listed below.

08.06. Leisnig – Sucks’n’Summer (Germany)

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!

Biohazard Announce Permanent Replacement For Evan Seinfeld!

Photo credit: Joe LaRusso

Last June, in a shocking twist of events, singer/bassist/actor/porn star Evan Seinfeld decided to quit Biohazard. The big question at the time was why did he leave Biohazard when they had just completed the production of their ninth studio album (produced by Toby Wright) and already had a worldwide tour planned? While the bands future could have been in jeopardy, they never stepped back and continued to work hard against all odds.

Last night they performed in front of their hometown crowd in New York City, and presented to the masses their brand NEW album entitled 'Reborn In Defiance' (set to be released this Friday, January 20th). Before the bands performance, we had the chance to interview Biohazard's vocalist/guitarist Billy Graziadei about the bands NEW album and their plans for 2012 (full interview coming soon)! During the interview we asked him if Scott Robers was just stepping in for Seinfeld or if he was a permanent member of the band. This is what Graziadei had to say about this:

"Scott Robers is in Biohazard for good, unless he turns into a crackhead." (Laughs). Today, the band posted this: "Let us introduce our new Bass player Scott Roberts-from the legendary Cro-Mags, Bloodclot and Spudmonsters!"


Below are all the upcoming European and U.S. tour dates for the first part of their world tour in support of "Reborn In Defiance".

Ikillya To Perform At Biohazard's CD Release Show For 'Reborn In Defiance'!

In 2011 we came across a lot of great bands take are taking the New York City Underground Heavy Music Scene by the horns, and collectively are helping to drive the scene into a new level of confidence and power! One band that is helping out by always delivering the goods is Ikillya. Fronted by vocalist Jason Lekberg, Ikillya's debut album entitled "Recon" is a fresh sounding groove machine full of furious well polished songs. "Recon" was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Hatebreed, This or the Apocalypse) and engineered by Paul Suarez (Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold), Ryan Kelly (Opeth, Orbs), and Armando Subero.

It has just been announced that Ikillya will be performing side by side with New York Hard Core legends Biohazard. The event will take place on Tuesday, January 17th at the Gramercy Theater in New York City, and is a celebration of Biohazard's ninth studio album titled "Reborn In Defiance".

Ikillya’s debut music video for their first single off "Recon" “…And Hell Followed With Him” was shot by seasoned director Frankie Nasso (All That Remains, Mudvayne, Hellyeah) in Staten Island, New York. “Being able to work with the amazing Frankie Nasso and his team and then have "Recon" be the #5 most added album with no label support is simply mind-boggling” said Ikillya vocalist Jason Lekberg, “We've got lots more work to do and we thank those who have worked with us so far for helping get us off to such a great start.”

Biohazard Premiere NEW Song Titled 'Come Alive'!

It has been six years since New York City Hardcore legends Biohazard released their eighth studio album titled "Means to an End". After beating up many obstacles, including the sudden departure of singer/bassist Evan Seinfeld in June, Biohazard are set to release their new album titled "Reborn In Defiance" on January 20, 2012 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The big question that all Biohazard fans have is: what happened with Evan Seinfeld? This is what singer/guitarist Billy Graziadei had to say about this matter.

"It dropped like a bombshell. It kind of came up from left field. We finished tracking the record in late February and really didn't have much contact with him that much. Everything was through management and I was working on the mix with Toby and some additional overdubs and different ideas and some piano and keyboard stuff. Then a couple of weeks ago he calls up and says, 'I can't do it anymore!' He's got a bunch of personal stuff and it's mostly secret. But it's personal between… it's what's going on in his life, but he made a decision and we weren't happy about it, but we made our decision to continue and keep going. It would be great if he was here and I know he's proud of the record and as happy as it came out as we are. We were all there and made it together and focused equally on it, but rather to let it die out, we said, 'You know what? Fuck it! We're all psyched and happy and even though things are different it doesn't mean much has changed!' The heart and soul of the band is still intact and we're gonna continue."

Ever since Seinfeld left the band, Scott Roberts became his temporary replacement. The band is actively looking for a permanent replacement, but rest assured that the band is ready to put on the fight of their lives!
