BIOHAZARD: Seattle Show Announced

April 11, 2009

The reunited original lineup of the New York hardcore/metal band BIOHAZARD has confirmed a one-off show in Seattle in May before embarking on a South American tour in June.

The group's schedule is now as follows:

May 09 - El Corazon - Seattle, Washington
Jun 20 - Teatro Colegiales - Buenos Aires, ARG
Jun 21 - Teatro Novedades - Santiago, CHL
Jun 24 - Teatro Metro - Bogota, COL

Sen Dog of CYPRESS HILL joined BIOHAZARD on stage on March 28, 2009 during the reunited New York hardcore/metal band's concert at the newly renovated Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California (also featuring SUICIDAL TENDENCIES). In addition to playing their 1994 collaboration "How It Is", they also did a version of the CYPRESS HILL song "Ain't Going Out Like That", which then went straight into a cover of PUBLIC ENEMY's "Bring The Noize".

BIOHAZARD has announced plans to record a new studio album once it has completed its current 20th-anniversary tour.

In an early 2008 interview with Terrorizer magazine, bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld explained how the band's reunion came about: "We had all been wondering what we were going to do to mark the twenty-year milestone in the BIOHAZARD history and it seemed like it was long overdue. Even though we are all busy with many different projects as well as other careers and music projects, it has been surprisingly painless to get everyone together. We had our first real jam three weeks ago and it was really amazingly tight considering it had been such a long time, the longest we had ever gone without playing together. Our former manager Scott suggested to me that I hook up with Bobby [Hambel, guitar] and we do a reunion. He was definitely integral in getting us all together. We think that since BIOHAZARD sold nearly four million albums worldwide and has performed in virtually every corner of the earth, lots of fans will come out to relive the even more famous live show, get a t-shirt, stage dive or just reminisce."

Nikki Law of Bay Area Backstage conducted an interview with guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei and guitarist Bobby Hambel of BIOHAZARD at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 15-18, 2009 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
