Biohazard’s Evan Seinfeld Wants to See the Band Release New Music Sometime This Year
Ever since they announced the reunion of their original lineup near the end of 2022, Biohazard has been making the most of their time together. From hometown shows to international festival appearances, the classic hardcore band from Brooklyn, New York has been out there kicking ass like it’s 1995.
But simply playing shows and living off their legacy just ain’t enough — not for bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld. The apparent goal is to release new music as the original lineup as well by the end of 2024, according to a recent interview he had on El Planeta Del Rock (as transcribed by Blabbermouth).
“We just begin writing. We’re working on our process on a couple of really cool songs, and when something is special enough and we are excited about it, I imagine we’ll release a single before release an album, but there’s a full-length album in the works. That’s the mission… We wanna go into the studio and really lock ourselves down, like we used to do in the ’90s, and spend some time really [making a strong album]. For us, it’s not about one song, one song. Making an album is still something that we care about.”
And while it sounds like he’s optimistic for the future of the band, Seinfeld said he understands that times have changed along with the music business. So while it may not make a lot of sense these days to release a full album, he said that it all boils down to being true to the band’s focus and legacy.
“I know it’s not the popular [way of doing things]. How many people buy new albums by artists and listen to the whole album from beginning to end? Young people don’t really ingest music like that so much. But Biohazard is about authenticity. We do what we do, and we’re gonna make the best album we can make in 2024, and hopefully get it out by the end of the year.”
Given the band’s past, it’s great to see the original lineup is seemingly here to stay, especially now that Seinfeld is back in the fold. He recently admitted in an interview with the Battleline Podcast that it felt like the band needed to break up in order to get back together.
“We got together in a room, we broke some bread, we had a rehearsal. It sounded incredible. It was revitalized. It needed to go away for 10 years for everyone to get rejuvenated and excited about it. The fans are hungry. We just did a huge European tour, and if you look at my Instagram, there’s a shot from this festival in Poland with 600,000 people. To stand on a stage in front of that many people and have them like chanting or jumping, it’s another level of experience. I don’t know that I ever appreciated it… I now have a huge amount of appreciation for everything I do. I have gratitude and a positive mindset. It doesn’t matter if I’m sitting in my house or if I’m on a big stage, I tend to appreciate everything more, and that’s a gift, man.”
Here’s hoping we’ll get to hear new tunes soon.
