BIOHAZARD – "F**k the System": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy1Wf4fP1CA
Billy Graziadei (Gesang/Gitarre) äußerte sich dazu wie folgt:"'F**k the System' is BIOHAZARD calling it like it is. The powers that be have us at odds and beefin' with each other while they sit back and cash in. It’s no accident the world’s burnin' in front of our eyes. It’s all divide and control - while they keep us divided by politics, class, race, all of it, and have us out here fighting each other, they’re pulling the strings. 'F**k the System' is our war cry about the state of the world with no sugarcoated bullshit."
BIOHAZARD – "Eyes On Six": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffH6X28LtV4
Billy Graziadei (vocals/guitar) on the song: "You don’t have to come from the ‘cold streets’ to feel like the odds are stacked against you and to know what it feels like to rise above hard times - when we find ways to survive, against all odds, we adopt a mindset of welcoming challenges. Forged in fire, that strength and determination and grit and heart is the underlying credo of Biohazard. Knock us down nine times, we’ll get up a tenth time and push forward, no matter what! No matter where you come from, play your cards right, know who your friends are, and keep your circle tight!"
BIOHAZARD – "Forsaken": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uj7ojsGYIc
Bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld on the new single: "We shot this video in Amsterdam, at Melkweg, an iconic venue where BIOHAZARD first made our bones in Europe back in the late '80s and ‘90s. It’s really organic, and a little sample of the energy of our first new album in 15 years, performed in a live setting. Make sure you’re strapped in and prepare for some real mayhem when our new album drops!”
BIOHAZARD – "Death Of Me": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCxjz9WZsUw
About the song, Danny Schuler (drums) comments: “'Death of Me.' One of my favorites! To me, this song embodies the frustration, miscommunication, and intolerance that we sometimes deal with in our lives. This song is a mid-tempo banger for anyone feeling like life is a never-ending battle against everything and everyone. Never give up!!!”
BIOHAZARD – "S.I.T.F.O.A.": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7YY2aXj7bs
Billy Graziadei (vocals/guitar) comments on "S.I.T.F.O.A.": "This song's about holding your own when life swings at you. When everything’s stacked against you, you don’t fold, you fight harder! It’s for everyone who’s been beaten down but came back stronger. Knocked down 9 times, stand up 10! That’s the Biohazard way: strength through struggle, no matter what!"
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed, Deftones), 'Divided We Fall' captures BIOHAZARD at their most raw, relentless, and unifying. The album blends the band’s unmistakable fusion of hardcore, metal, and streetwise groove with a sharpened edge for a fractured modern world delivering a powerful reminder of why BIOHAZARD remains one of the most vital and influential bands in heavy music.
Bobby Hambel (guitars) on the album: "We are really excited to finally have the classic BIOHAZARD lineup back together in the studio. This album has been a long time coming, and the record is straight from our hearts - we can’t wait for everybody to hear it, and to head out and play these new songs live. See you out there!"
Recording sessions took place at Shorefire Recording Studios (Long Branch, NJ) and The Hydeaway (Van Nuys, CA), with engineering by Joseph DeMaio and additional recording from Matt Hyde. Guitar and production tech duties were handled by Phil Caivano.
BIOHAZARD’s upcoming release via BLKIIBLK marks a new chapter in a storied career that began in the late ’80s, one defined by aggressive sound, socially conscious lyrics, and an unwavering commitment to their roots.

About the tour, Evan Seinfeld (vocals/bass) comments: "Judgement Night. The script writes itself. BIOHAZARD is excited to announce our first headlining tour of the U.S. in more than a decade, celebrating our 30-plus year history with Onyx, two of the most hardcore entities in our respective genres. Bayway are killing it, reminiscent of BIOHAZARD’s early rise, and Swollen Teeth bring an entirely different element of heaviness to captivate crowds and evolve our scene. This is going to be a tribal ceremony and a place to release your negative energy in a positive way - see you in the pit!"

Musical pioneers in every sense of the word, BIOHAZARD were one of the first bands to seamlessly blend hardcore, heavy metal, punk, and hip hop into an intoxicating genre all their own. After more than a decade away, the Brooklyn, NY band’s OG lineup reunited in 2023 to both fan fervor and critical acclaim, headlining the opening night of the legendary Milwaukee Metal Fest for their first show back. Ghost Cult Magazine said they “explosively unleashed their fury with fortitude and force” with “a superhuman set and an awe-inspiring show.”
The band followed with two sold-out hometown shows in New York City, a late-summer festival run in the UK and Europe, and a fall direct support slot with Megadeth across North America. That was just the start. They returned to Europe and the UK in 2024 for the early summer festival season – including a headlining slot at Download – and made their triumphant return to South America in spring, then returned home to blow out America’s exploding festival circuit.
Their return did more than turn heads; it caused whiplash, and they partnered with BlkIIBlk Records to record and release new music. More incendiary and relentless than ever, the trailblazers have a fresh outlook and revitalized spirit. This is more than a reunion - for Billy Graziadei (vocals/guitar), Bobby Hambel (lead guitar), Danny Schuler (drums), and Evan Seinfeld (vocals/bass), it’s a revitalization and rebirth.
