The New York-based group mixed hip hop and ballsy hardcore metal and their video for the song 'Punishment' became the most played video in the history of MTV's Headbanger's Ball, with their album selling over a million copies. The band famously played Monsters of Rock's second stage in 1994 and after performing just two songs, they were ejected by the organisers for allowing a crowd invasion on stage.
It's reported the original line-up will reunite for a series of performances this summer to commemorate the band's 20th anniversary. That's Bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld, guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei, drummer Danny Schuler, and guitarist Bobby Hambel, who have not performed together publicly since 1995, when Hambel left the group at the end of the tour for their third album, 'State Of The World Address'.
Seinfeld, now a porn star, says in the interview on blabbermouth, "Biohazard was the single most important chapter in our lives," he says. "Our music brought us together and helped us rise up out of the streets of Brooklyn. Our journey has been an amazing one, and for me, it's all about my brothers Billy, Bobby and Danny, and of course the fans, whose undying support has never given up on the hopes of a reunion of the original band. I'm proud to announce that the four of us have decided to bring our special brand of hardcore tribal ceremony better known as a Biohazard live show to select venues across the globe. Here comes the pain, and see you in the pit, motherfuckers!"
Axe shredder Hambel added, "We owe it to ourselves and to everyone who wants to see the original band reunite. We've lost a lot of great friends and musicians over the years, but we're still here and it's time to set the record straight!"
Early this year the original Biohazard members met and rehearsed together for the first time in a dozen years. Graziadei, says in the blabbermouth interview, "To be in the same room with old friends again fuckin' rocked. 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, rumours 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."
Nor can we, here's hoping a UK date is announced in the forthcoming anniversary tour!
