Evan Seinfeld wraps up recording for side project

In fact, the dude just wrapped recording the other day on the debut disc from his long-in-the-works side-project The Spyderz. The band also features John Monte, formerly of Ministry and M.O.D.

"This is something I have always wanted to do, and it's taken time for me to let it organically develop,” Seinfeld tells Gun Shy Assassin about the hard rock outfit that, he says, is "just the sum of my influences.” It's nothing like Biohazard, of course; there's keys and horns on some tracks, harmonica on others. He even enlisted a gaggle of gospel singers for the disc, which is now being mixed by Toby Wright, who has worked with Alice In Chains, Korn, and Slayer.

"I don't know if it sounds like any of these things but the intentions of it come from the Rolling Stones and The Who, Social Distortion, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Some people have said it sounds like The Cult and old Guns N' Roses. It has some acoustic ballads. I'm very excited. Very few people - maybe nobody - will hear it and think, ‘That's the guy from Biohazard.' You know, even people I am friends with, they play in a band and then they go start another band and it sounds like the first band. Jamey Jasta has five bands that sound like Hatebreed. I love Jamey, I love his energy, and I love what he does, but anything I could do in Biohazard, I would do in Biohazard.”

Speaking of which, Evan says "80 percent of the music” for the next Biohazard record is about written and about "40 percent” of the lyrics. The guys have been writing the follow-up to 2005's Means To An End for six months now. Toby Wright is producing the disc, which Seinfeld says is "a big, nasty, metal and hardcore record” with "melody and hooks, which we've never had before,” and promises that the new stuff is heavy, with "moments that feel like Urban Discipline or State of the World Address.” He says its "pissed off and thrashy and there are a lot of those intense old school moments."
