About

Biohazard is a pioneering American band originating from Brooklyn, New York, known for their aggressive blend of hardcore punk, heavy metal, and hip hop. Formed in the late 1980s, the group initially comprised Evan Seinfeld (vocals, bass), Billy Graziadei (guitar, vocals), Bobby Hambel (lead guitar), and Danny Schuler (drums). As musical innovators, Biohazard stood out in the hardcore and metal scenes by merging the intensity of punk with the rhythmic elements of rap and the weighty riffs of metal, making a significant impact on the genres of rap metal and nu metal.

How to Sound Like Biohazard

Biohazard's sound is characterized by its raw, aggressive energy and groove-laden riffs, often underscored by a menacing blend of hardcore and metal influences. The guttural vocal delivery combined with pounding bass lines and rapid-fire drumming creates a visceral, high-octane sonic assault. To achieve their ferocious tone, they often employ gear like the Marshall JCM800 2203, which contributes to the punchy, overdriven guitar sound that drives their music. The Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95 adds dynamic expression to their riffs, while the Jackson Pro Series Spectra Bass SBP IV delivers the deep, resonant bass tones that anchor their explosive tracks. Their music is relentless, rhythmic, and perfectly encapsulates the gritty, urban ethos from which they emerged.
