H has put the Biohazard logo up on his instagram. State Of The World Address colour as well. Sexy time.

Saw this earlier but didn't want to make a thread falsely getting people excited :laugh: . The EU tour was already announced at the end of October with no Irish show unless they are coming to Dublin during one of the days they have off while in England.

Just had a look at the dates, I'd imagine the only one that would be feasible would be if they were to start the tour here on the 24th Feb?

Definitely head along, although I'd say there'll be high percentage of mongos at it

Fibbers in 2013 I don't think they played here since then.
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: Circlepit on November 12, 2024, 02:21:28 PM
Fairly sure played in fibbers a few years ago but not the proper line up.
They were in the doldrums during that period.

Yeah that was just Billy & Danny while Evan was off attempting to be a DJ and discovering wellness grifting.

That was the 2013 show then. It was the one everyone on metalireland was going on about when it was happening. They stopped playing live sometime in 2015 and they didn't play live again until a few months after Evan rejoined in 2023.

They don't seem to advertise the price in advance anymore which is annoying especially if you have to get a few tickets the day they go on sale.

I guess I wasn't too far off a while back when saying Biohazard would be great support for Pantera. Them playing a headline show the next day is 100 times better.

Never listed to Life of Agony but have seen the name around for years. I just checked them out and they sound awful. I am guessing they are one of those bands you'd have to have been into as a teenager.

That's probably the case, but their only actually heavy album is River Runs Red. I like Ugly a lot as well and some of Soul Searching Sun but not a thing other than that. Which one did you try?

Post by: John Kimble on November 14, 2024, 07:00:54 PM
Biohazard are absolute muck lads. I remember drawing their symbol on my canvass school bag as a young lad before I ever heard a note of their music. I just reckoned it looked cool and they got a mention on the liner notes of Chaos Ad (so did Dog Eat Dog btw, ahem...) so that was good enough for me at the time. I then actually heard them and even at a time when I wasn't particularly discriminating about what I listened to, realized they were in fact total balls. That said, punishment is one of the greatest intros ever, until of course yer man's vocals kick in and things get seriously shit.
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: Eoin McLove on November 14, 2024, 07:54:53 PM
Back then myself and the lads used to have a good laugh at Evan's vocals as they are something of an acquired taste, shall we say :laugh: I can listen to State of the World Address these days with nothing but fondness and even enjoy his funny vocals. By the way, the production on that album must be one of the best out of the 90s mainstream bands. Up there with Type O.
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: John Kimble on November 14, 2024, 08:05:07 PM
Yep, solid production no doubt about it. Much of the Roadrunner roster was the same back then. I can still appreciate the production on, for example, Burn My Eyes, even if MH absolutely suck these days. Same for Demanufacture, Chaos AD etc, even if those bands have completely shat over whatever legacy they once had
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: Circlepit on November 14, 2024, 08:11:56 PM
What's great about those albums especially State Of The Works address is that they are before the loudness wars so you can hear all the enemy really well.
The Biohazard s/t is savage as well.
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: Eoin McLove on November 14, 2024, 08:23:49 PM
Burn My Eyes has a brilliant production. Not sure I would say the same about Demanufacture these days. I listened to it a lot back then and I suppose it's an appropriate production, but I don't remember it being as lush as the others mentioned. Long time since I've put it on though, so maybe...
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: astfgyl on November 14, 2024, 08:26:47 PM
Biohazard are hilarious but I'm very much looking forward to this. I reckon Life of Agony will be shit going by anything I've seen of them live but the Hazard are by all accounts great craic.

I'll have to go back and listen to both bands again,id say there's no way I'd sit through a full album.The Shades of grey video and LoA Through and Through video were great back in the day.

Let's be honest loads going to this will be hoping it will be like something from the 90s :laugh:

Bi-yo!-hazard.

LOA were great but It Caputo's voice was definitely a bit of a challenge. I think they are deadly but I get that they are Marmite. Or Vegeemoit, caaant!
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: ochoill on November 15, 2024, 10:54:31 AM
RRR is lethal start to finish but I've no interest in any of the rest of LoA.  Would still see them live solely on that album though.  I often listen to it and it has been regularly on the go since my teens.

Biohazard are 50/50 but I am sure they would be decent live.
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: jobrok1 on November 15, 2024, 11:09:03 AM
Yeah!
They are both 'Right Place, Right Time's bands.

Went back to the recently myself when I found the young fella banging the vids out on YouTube. He went through a brief NY style hardcore phase for a bit.

Yeah, I reckon if I'd come across it 25 years or so ago I'd have liked it, just not doing anything for me now

Same with Biohazard really, doubt I'd give them much time these days but 14 year old me loved it

I just searched for a few songs on youtube can't even remember which ones I looked at.



I got into Biohazrd as a teenager Evans vocals never bothered anymore than any other metal vocalist. For people saying they are hilarious or embarrassing are they really anymore embarrassing than your Iron Maidens or Judas Priests etc.

I would love to hear songs from Kill or be killed but my guess is they will stick to the hits.

For those in doubt the show in Fibbers in 2013 was absolutely brilliant as I sure anyone else who was there will agree. Everyone on Metalireland at the time loved it so now that Evan is back in the band this show will have to be even better than 2013.

Despite the silliness I bought RRR and have been listening to it a lot the past few days. I am familiar with half of if and the other half is slowly growing on me. Take out the annoying story telling bits with the yelling oul one and it's pretty damn savage. I didn't pick up on the huge doom influence when I was younger. My points of reference for doom back then were limited to MDB and PL, and LOA sound nothing like either. I can hear certain parallels with Type O that weren't apparent to me back in the 90s, despite loving October Rust. Pretty damn cool album.

Pretty sure I'm hearing the Biohazard dudes doing guest vocals in a couple of songs.

Josh from Type O was the producer of RRR. That combined with Sals drumming made it have that link. It's a shame Sal can't seem to get in with band members as he has a great drumming style.

Those gang vocals on the likes My Eyes are 100% Type O.
That track for some reason sounds like it was never mastered. If you listen on headphones there is a huge drop in punch and volume.
Ugly has never really clicked with me but Soul Searching Sun was a time and place album. Still love it.

Broken Valley has some moments.

Loved RRR and listened to it relentlessly back in the day. But Ugly just didn't cut it. The production on the album didn't suit them at all, in my opinion.
SSS was a shift in direction but still a decent album.

Post by: astfgyl on November 24, 2024, 11:39:34 AM
The shock of the sound on Ugly after giving a couple of years wearing out RRR was tough to take. I also think SSS was less of a departure after that but I still like a good bit of it

Edit: I'm fairly certain that's Biohazard on Method Of Groove as well but iirc they're uncredited.

Actually, we never mention much on the site here about Pete Steele making a guest appearance on a couple of tracks on Biohazards Uncivilisation album, which is also one of their better ones.

Quote from: Eoin McLove on November 24, 2024, 10:59:49 PMI didn't know about that. I never listened to that album so I'll have to check it out.

It's well worth a spin or two if you are partial to a bit of Biohazard. It's good even without the ethereal wisps of Pete Steele to round it out

Quote from: The Great Cull on November 24, 2024, 07:42:15 AMI think he had a lot more influence even on the Type O sound than he gets credit for. Mad to think he works as a paramedic now...

There's career changes and then there`s that  ???




Quote from: Eoin McLove on November 23, 2024, 10:08:56 PMDespite the silliness I bought RRR and have been listening to it a lot the past few days. I can hear certain parallels with Type O that weren't apparent to me back in the 90s, despite loving October Rust. Pretty damn cool album.



The drum tone on RRR sounds , to me, exactly like the drum tone on BK by Type O. Loud with a lot reverb.

Absolutely. Even some of the drum patterns/ fills are identical. He has a unique style without a doubt. But I'm referring also to the style of riffs. The big Sabbath grooves mixed with breakdowns, the melodic,  dramatic vocals and then gang chants lobbed in here and there. The gloomy HC and poppy mix is heavily Type O inspired yet they arrived at their own sound despite those parallels.

Sal Abruscato played on both RRR and BK. The feel bad to be transferred between both albums either on purpose or by accident.

Seriously considering heading along but Life of Agony will be given a miss. Could never fathom the fuss over RRR in 1996 and things haven't changed in the intervening decades. Any idea of stage times? Trying to plan around public transport and see if it's doable.

I watched a few songs from a recent Biohazard set the other night and they are unreal. For a bunch of old farts they still give it 100%. Total energy. Watching Bobby ripping out solos and spinning around at, what, 50 odd? 60? Some buck.

Thanks for the offer but won't know until Sunday if I'll be heading. Trying to fit in around a few local GAA matches. Enjoy the gig!

Onyx (Kern Little from the Shield and Bird from the Wire) are playing in the Music centre Sunday night as well who are on Judgement Night. Would have been great if both shows could have been combined. Onyx's style of rap would go down really well with the Biohazard crowd Half thinking of even going to Onyx over this.

LOA played for an hour or so in Belfast so presumably more than the 7 songs, don't know much about them or had much interest, not my cup of tea.

Biohazard in Belfast were great. I'm not a fan but grabbed a cheap ticket at the last minute - they sound great live, really tight band. Dublin tonight should be great.

Onyx did Judgement Night at their gig but at Biohazard they just did the chorus of slam a few times. It seemed like a last minute thing. I think they only found out earlier today that they were both in the same city.

When Biohazard came out and started with Shades of Grey Bobby seemed to be genuinely blown away by the crowd reaction. The crowd last night were great. Anyone else notice when Evan was saying the last time they played here was 93 Billy seemed to be trying to correct him since they played here in 2013.

They have finished recording the new album.
Title: Re: Biohazard!
Post by: Circlepit on February 24, 2025, 10:24:04 AM
They definitely played a few years back but with a different line up.
They made a reference online about a Tivoli gig that ended up with a riot. Perhaps that's what Evan was referring to.
I was so cranky yesterday as a result of not being able to go to the gig.
The fact that they got such a strong reaction may bring them back sooner when they tour this new album.
Hopefully the new songs will capture the form they seem to be currently in.

The photos make it seem like it was wild.

That wasn't great now. I thought they were pretty sloppy in places. Sound wasn't great at the start but did get better, not the band's fault I know. That being said they were clearly having a lot of fun and that was pretty infectious.
