BIOHAZARD's EVAN SEINFELD On Making Of 'Divided We Fall' Album: 'Everybody Had Songs And Everybody Had Riffs And Everybody Had Ideas'

In a new interview with "Reckless" Rexx Ruger of the Pod Scum podcast, BIOHAZARD bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld spoke about the band's latest album, "Divided We Fall", which came out last October after he and his bandmates spent two years touring around the globe. Evan said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):  "I'm so proud of it. [There was] something about our confidence in making BIOHAZARD songs [this time around]. Our producer, Matt Hyde, said, 'Hey, guys, don't try to reinvent the wheel here. Don't try to be LORNA SHORE. Don't try to like change your sound. People want a BIOHAZARD record. People want a record that would come in between 'Urban Discipline' and 'State Of The World Address'. So that's what we tried to give them."

Evan continued: "It was cool because we were on this huge sold-out European tour before we did the record, and every night we were playing all the old songs. And because it was the O.G. lineup, we just played stuff from the first three records. And it put us in that headspace — old school. And we find that our lyrics, our socially conscious lyrics are as relevant today as ever."

Asked if some of the BIOHAZARD members came in with the lion's share of the ideas or if it was a "very collaborative" effort, Evan said: "Everybody had songs and everybody had riffs and everybody had ideas. Danny [Schuler, BIOHAZARD drummer] came in with a motherload of fucking amazing material. But everybody in the band wrote songs on this album. Everybody in the band contributed music and lyrics. And everybody in this band is really prolific, and everybody in this band can make their own album. But only when you have all the ingredients of the soup is it fucking the soup."

"Divided We Fall" arrived on October 17, 2025 via BLKIIBLK. The recording sessions for the LP took place at Shorefire Recording Studios in Long Branch, New Jersey and The Hydeaway in Van Nuys, California, with engineering by Joseph DeMaio and additional recording from Matt Hyde. Guitar and production tech duties were handled by Phil Caivano.

BIOHAZARD recently teamed up with the American hip-hop group ONYX for a North American tour.

Last month, BIOHAZARD guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei was asked by Chris Akin Presents if the state of the world, with so much hatred and division in society, was an inspiration for him and his bandmates to release "Divided We Fall". Billy responded: "We've always been a product of our environment. And all of our lyrics, all of our music, everything we've released has been a product of that influence.

"'Divided We Fall', it is more timely now that there is no unity and there's such division," he continued. "And it could be anything… There's so much stuff. It was kind of like that a long time ago, and when I realized, being on tour and playing all those classic songs for the past couple years that our music is as timely and relevant now that it was then. With 'Divided We Fall', we sing about things that I think resonate with not just ourselves, but will resonate with new people, people who don't know BIOHAZARD.

"I think the other deep meaning is being back together, there's a twist on that," Billy explained. "We're stronger together than we are separately. I mean, even though I have [the] POWERFLO and BILLYBIO [projects], which I love, being in BIOHAZARD, it's a different thing. It's part of who I am. It's in my DNA for so long, I can't deny it. That's why I went with the name BILLYBIO [for my solo project]. I was gonna call it GENERATION Z. I was gonna call it GENERATION KILL, all these other names I had, and I was, like, 'You know what? This is who I am. Let me embrace it,' because there's songs in there that were gonna be BIOHAZARD songs, [that I did] with BILLYBIO, that there was no BIOHAZARD, so they became BILLYBIO songs.

"But back to BIOHAZARD, I think we don't pull any punches, we speak how it is, but unification and unity and survival has always been an underlying theme for us," Billy added. "And this record is a huge statement saying, especially with… 'Divided We Fall' is a line from 'Fuck The System'. So, I suggested it. I'm, like, 'Let's call the song 'Divided We Fall',' and we ended up not doing it, but it stuck perfect and seemed to summarize everything on the record and the times — like 'State Of World Address' did, like 'Urban Discipline' did.

"I remember making the first record we released, self-titled. We left New York, and we realized it wasn't just New York that was messed up. [We saw similar things] in Chicago, we saw similar things in Detroit and Seattle and L.A. and Dallas, all these cities around the country. We came home and released 'Urban Discipline'. That was our cry and what we've learned and how we realized it wasn't just New York that was affecting us. It was city life in general, that urban life. On that record, we toured so much and came back realizing that it wasn't just the cities in America, it was the world and cities all over the world. So 'State Of The World Address' was a reflection of that experience. 'Divided We Fall' is a direct mirror of what we've seen, collectively, not just in the past couple years since we've been [back] together — because I'm always writing, we're always creating stuff — it's how we've seen things have gone over the past 10 years, the past decade. And people who are gonna pick up this record might have been 10 years old, eight years old when BIOHAZARD stopped doing anything. So it's almost like we're the same microscope, we're the same telescope that we were back then, and we're just looking through it with a little bit more educated eyes. We're not so quick to form judgment or to judge, and we could see things a little bit bigger. Sometimes when you look at things very focused, you kind of miss out on everything around it, and you kind of back up to take a bird's eye view, you see the bigger picture. And our earlier records, it was more narrow. But we're a little bit older and wiser. We see the big picture, and 'Divided We Fall' kind of sums that up."
