Reborn In Defiance, the long-awaited new studio album from New York hardcore metal legends Biohazard, has been confirmed for a January 20, 2012 release date.
The band will celebrate the launch with a record release party in their hometown of Brooklyn, New York before setting off on an extensive international tour.
Not only is Reborn In Defiance Biohazard’s first original lineup album in 18 years(!!!), but it also marks the last album recorded by the band before the departure of bassist and co-vocalist Evan Seinfeld. The album remains a testament to the four founding members Billy Graziadei, Bobby Hambel, Evan Seinfeld and Danny Schuler and their unique chemistry.
“Biohazard has always been a mixture of our personalities, passion, chaos and angst that makes us who we are,” says vocalist and guitarist Billy Graziadei. “It's this energy that comes out of us when we're together that is BIOHAZARD.”
Legendary Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, Metallica, Sevendust, Korn) was brought in to produce the 13-track Reborn In Defiance, which was recorded in Los Angeles. He turned out to be exactly what the band needed.
The band will embark on a massive world tour following their record release party in New York, with concerts in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia and South America planned. Dates and details will be announced shortly.
As a thank you for their loyal fans, Biohazard is giving away a free track titled “Vengeance Is Mine” from the new album. Fans can download the track from the band’s Facebook page.
Graziadei states, “There are three elements of creating an album: the album you want to make, the album you make and the album you wish you made. Reborn in Defiance is the first album for us that has hit all three, and we’re psyched to finally bring it to the masses.”
Reborn In Defiance will be released over Nuclear Blast/Riot on 20th January 2012.
