BIOHAZARD Guitarist Talks About Upcoming Album

September 17, 2004

BIOHAZARD guitarist Billy Graziadei recently spoke to Greece's Metal-Temple.com webzine about the songwriting process for the group's new album, tentatively due next year through SPV Records. Several excerpts from the interview follow:

Metal-Temple.com: Your new album, yet unnamed, is going to be released by the end of this year. Are there any candidate titles for the album or is that part left for the end? Would you like to announce any songtitles if available?

Billy Graziadei: "No title to release yet... The ideas are good but nothing definite.. Songs... 'My Life My Way', 'Kings Never Die', 'Break It Away From Me', 'State Of Discipline' and 'A Fire Burns Inside'."

Metal-Temple.com: Two months ago you told Blabbermouth.net that the new songs are back to the "Urban Discipline"/"State of the World Address" style of BIOHAZARD. You also said that you went back to the traditional tunings of BIOHAZARD. What exactly led you to do that?

Billy Graziadei: "Our last album, 'Kill or be Killed', we dropped way low to an 'A' tuning.....easy to write heavy riffs in that tuning...some of the songs on that album had the classic BIOHAZARD feel (in my opinion) but with the traditional BIO tuning of 'D' I am forced to write heavy BIOHAZARD riffs that are actually heavy and not covered up by a low tuning....everyone is playing with low tunings...it’s easy as hell to write like that....but the tunings on 'Kill Or Be Killed' fit with our mood of the album and the lyrics..it worked at the time..."
