Biohazard bassist and vocalist Evan Seinfeld has opened up about the making of the band’s latest album, “Divided We Fall.” He addressed whether the group felt they were getting close to copying themselves instead of just being themselves, in comments shared on Rocking With Jam Man.
Seinfeld explained that the decision to lean into the band’s classic sound was intentional, guided by producer Matt Hyde and shaped by the pressure of reuniting with the band’s original lineup.
“No, absolutely not. We were intentionally copying ourselves. Our producer, Matt Hyde, literally said that,” Seinfeld said. “‘Cause I think — I can’t speak for the other guys. I know I was overthinking it a little bit in my head, like, ‘Okay, we’re back together. We have to make our jump to light speed here or something.’ And he was, like, ‘Bro, you’re f*cking Biohazard. Make a f*cking Biohazard album that sounds like Biohazard, that the Biohazard fans will f*cking love.'”
Seinfeld went on to describe how an extensive touring schedule, focused exclusively on the band’s earliest material, helped put the group back into the mindset of its formative years.
“We were fortunate, ’cause we were on tour and played about 150 shows around the world, Europe, South America, USA,” he continued. “We were touring with Megadeth, playing f*cking festivals with f*cking Iron Maiden and Metallica and playing on hardcore shows with Agnostic Front and the Cro-Mags. It was f*cking awesome. And because we had just put the band back together, we decided only we were gonna play songs from the first three albums that the original lineup, the O.G. lineup, played on.”
That period of revisiting older material, he said, ultimately shaped the direction of the new record and gave the band confidence in embracing their own legacy.
“So we, were, like, in this mode from just playing songs from the era of 1987 to 1994. So this was, like, the sweet spot of Biohazard,” Seinfeld said. “And Matt Hyde was, like, ‘You guys are icons. You have the right to copy yourself. AC/DC and Rolling Stones do it in their own way.’ And once that became clear, oh, I was copying the f*ck out of myself. We all were. And that’s why it’s, like, our best album in f*cking 35 years.”
“Divided We Fall” marks Biohazard’s latest effort since reuniting, with Seinfeld crediting the band’s touring run and producer Matt Hyde for helping shape what he calls their strongest album in decades.
That sense of pride tracks with the broader story behind the record. The album represents far more than a simple return to the studio for the Brooklyn outfit.
“Divided We Fall” arrived on October 17, 2025, through BLKIIBLK. The album marks Biohazard’s first studio release in over 13 years and their first new material since 2012’s “Reborn in Defiance.” The eleven-track record features “Fuck the System,” “Forsaken,” “Eyes on Six,” “Death of Me,” “Word to the Wise,” “Fight to Be Free,” “War Inside Me,” “S.I.T.F.O.A.,” “Tear Down the Walls,” “I Will Overcome” and “Warriors.”
The album also stands out as a full reunion of Biohazard’s classic lineup. It brings Seinfeld back together with vocalist/guitarist Billy Graziadei, guitarist Bobby Hambel and drummer Danny Schuler for the first time on record in over three decades. That configuration, the same one responsible for the band’s formative run between 1987 and 1994, gives weight to Seinfeld’s comments about the group earning the right to revisit its own sound.
The band has continued building momentum behind the release well into 2026, hitting the road for an extensive spring tour alongside Sepultura, Exodus and Tribal Gaze. The trek underscored just how central “Divided We Fall” has become to Biohazard’s current identity. The band treated the new material as the backbone of their live sets rather than a nostalgia-driven victory lap.
Guitarist Billy Graziadei has echoed Seinfeld’s sentiments about the record’s significance. He described it as an album that carries genuine urgency rather than simply trading on the band’s history. That perspective reinforces the idea that “Divided We Fall” was built from a place of confidence. The band leaned fully into the sound that made them icons in the first place.
