Biohazard

Biohazard is a pioneering American band known for blending hardcore punk, metal, and hip-hop elements into their music, creating a unique fusion style often categorized as "urban metal" or "rap metal". Formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 1987, the band consists of founding members Evan Seinfeld (vocals, bass) and Billy Graziadei (guitar, vocals), along with various rotating members over the years.

The band gained significant recognition in the early 1990s with the release of their third album, "Urban Discipline" (1992), which featured their signature sound and aggressive, socially conscious lyrics. The album's success helped establish Biohazard as one of the leading acts in the burgeoning crossover metal scene, alongside bands like Rage Against the Machine and Body Count.

Biohazard's music often addresses themes of urban life, social injustice, and personal struggle, reflecting the harsh realities of their native Brooklyn and resonating with audiences worldwide. Tracks like "Punishment" and "Shades of Grey" became anthems for disaffected youth, blending heavy riffs, intense rhythms, and raw vocal delivery with elements of hip-hop and hardcore punk.

Throughout their career, Biohazard has faced numerous challenges, including lineup changes, label disputes, and personal struggles. Despite these obstacles, the band has remained dedicated to their craft, releasing a string of albums and touring extensively around the globe. Their relentless work ethic and authentic approach to music have earned them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.

In addition to their musical endeavors, members of Biohazard have pursued various side projects and collaborations over the years. Evan Seinfeld, in particular, has ventured into acting and adult entertainment, while Billy Graziadei has explored solo projects and production work. Despite these individual pursuits, Biohazard remains an enduring force in the world of heavy music, continuing to inspire listeners with their uncompromising sound and message.
