A raw, confrontational sound from the late '80s that blended hardcore, thrash, and rap into something heavy and street-level.
If you want to hear what they were about, 'Tales From The Hard Side' and 'Blue Blood' frame it pretty well. It's all there in the riffs and the attitude.
Biohazard mattered because they gave a voice to social and political frustration without softening the edges. Songs like 'Tales From The Hard Side' carried a blunt tone that felt real to a certain corner of the metal and hardcore scenes. Their sound was built on chugging riffs and shouted vocals, and it stayed that way for decades.
They came out of Brooklyn in the late 1980s with Evan Seinfeld on vocals, Billy Graziadei on guitar, Bobby Hambel on bass, and Danny Schuler on drums. The self-titled debut arrived in 1990, and they kept recording through the '90s and 2000s with albums like 'Urban Discipline' and 'State of the World Address'. Later on, guitarist Scott Roberts joined the group.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
