BIOHAZARD “Divided We Fall”
BIOHAZARD “Divided We Fall”
By Iron Sheik
NYHC returns with Brooklyn's BIOHAZARD. Original members Billy, Bobby, Danny and Evan have regrouped releasing perhaps the heaviest album of 2025. “Divided We Fall” is just as hard-hitting as their earlier material. Packing a modern punch that is heavy as hell yet familiar, BIOHAZARD has pulled off an album just as potent as my favorite of theirs, “State Of The World Address”. Consistency matters, and “Divided We Fall” has that in spades. In your face like a rabid dog on the verge of biting. Their decade apart only sharpened the aggressiveness of BIOHAZARD with a renewed energy.
Hip-hop, punk and heavy metal all fused together is what BIOHAZARD brings to the table, and with “Divided We Fall” they flatten that table with brutality. Beginning that brutality of "how much more can we take" is opening track “Fuck The System” to they "can't take no more of this pain" in second track “Forsaken”. By the third track “Eyes On Six” we get the straightforward warning "you better watch your fucking back!" Pulling together with a punch to the gut about the pain in life we all feel.
“Death Of Me” continues raging that if " you push me too far I'll fight until the end." By “Word To The Wise” it slightly flips their message by putting forth "the strong will survive." Next track “Fight To Be Free” kicks at the restraints to "fight or flee...swim or drown." “War Inside Me” spits with venom: "I choose to make you lose." There are no mincing of words there and in “S.I.T.F.O.A”, having a strength about the hard times to "never give up, never give in...we're all trying to make it all right."
“Tear Down The Walls” warns of a demise "with all my heart and all my might...sink or swim." “I Will Overcome” declares there are "no regrets about how I live my life or the things I have done." Last but not least is Warriors wrapping things up chanting "I know I must go on."
Age has done nothing to diminish the aggression and hardcore empowerment that is BIOHAZARD. BIOHAZARD 2025 sounds just as hard hitting as they did on their debut album in 1990. Their musical fusion has brought their hardest hitting music in years on “Divided We Fall”. With all the break downs, chainsaw charging razor sharp riffs and aggressive lyrics they warn the listener that there is no B.S. in their message.
