The original lineup of the highly influential New York-based group BIOHAZARD, whose intense fusion of the aggression of hardcore, punk and thrash metal with the socio-critical commentary and authenticity of hip-hop earned the band extensive international acclaim will reunite for a series of performances in the summer of 2008 to commemorate the band’s 20th anniversary. A new group photo can be viewed at this location. Bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld, guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei, drummer Danny Schuler and guitarist Bobby Hambel have not performed together publicly since 1995, when Hambel left the group at the end of the touring cycle for BIOHAZARD’s third album and major-label debut, “State Of The World Address”.

In early January, the original BIOHAZARD members met and rehearsed together for the first time in a dozen years. “To be in the same room with old friends again fuckin’ rocked,” says Graziadei. “We created something unique back in the day and I’m psyched we can all hang together and recapture that vibe. It’s like time stood still and we’re all 19 again!” “I’m extremely happy that we’re all friends again,” Schuler adds. “Life is too short, and all the fights, rumors and beefs don’t matter anymore. What matters is the four of us being friends and getting up on stage again together. I can’t wait to do this.”
