BIOHAZARD Returns with a Fury: "Divided We Fall" Is Here to Reignite the Metal Scene
In a raw and unfiltered interview with Laughing Monkey's Shawn Ratches, BIOHAZARD's bassist and vocalist Evan Seinfeld has revealed the explosive details behind the band's highly anticipated comeback album, "Divided We Fall." Released in October 2025, this record signals a ferocious return from a band that has spent two grueling years on the road, captivating audiences worldwide. Seinfeld enthusiastically describes the new album as a sonic resurrection, likening it to "Urban Discipline 2.0" — a gripping homage to their roots fused with contemporary production finesse thanks to the legendary Matt Hyde, known for his work with SLAYER and HATEBREED.
Seinfeld doesn't hold back when he proclaims "Divided We Fall" as BIOHAZARD's best-produced album to date. He lavishes praise on his bandmates, declaring that Danny Schuler's drumming is nothing short of stellar, Bobby Hambel's guitar work is at its peak, and Billy Graziadei's vocals shine brighter than ever. The chemistry within the band is palpable, with Seinfeld noting that their interactions between tracks have reached new heights, forging a formula that is undeniably potent.
However, the path to creating this album wasn't without its uncertainties. Seinfeld admits to initial confusion regarding the musical direction they should take, especially after a long hiatus since 2012's "Reborn In Defiance." Amidst a whirlwind of touring and overwhelming fan demand, the band was approached by BLKIIBLK, their new label eager to support their revival. Seinfeld was faced with the daunting task of reinventing the essence of BIOHAZARD while honoring their legacy. Thankfully, Hyde's straightforward advice to simply be themselves provided the clarity needed to channel their authentic sound.
Reflecting on the album's nostalgic vibe, Seinfeld shared an intriguing anecdote from a recent interview where he was informed of a resurgence of '90s bands dominating the scene. He took pride in being recognized as one of the last standing original acts in the hardcore and underground metal realms, noting that the same core members have been together for an impressive 38 years. It’s a testament to their enduring commitment to their craft and an extraordinary feat in an industry that often sees constant lineup changes.
"Divided We Fall" was meticulously crafted at Shorefire Recording Studios in New Jersey and The Hydeaway in California, showcasing the band's dedication to quality. With the first reunion show of the classic lineup taking place in May 2023 at the Milwaukee Metal Fest, fans are thrilled to witness BIOHAZARD's resurgence after years in the shadows, especially following the departure of guitarist Scott Roberts over a decade ago. Now, with all original members intact and in fighting shape, BIOHAZARD is poised to reclaim their throne in the metal pantheon.
