After spending two years reconnecting with fans across the globe on a massive reunion tour, hardcore legends Biohazard finally unleashed their new studio album, Divided We Fall, last October. In a fresh interview with “Reckless” Rexx Ruger of the “Pod Scum” podcast, bassist and vocalist Evan Seinfeld opened up about the creative process behind the record, revealing that the band made a conscious decision to avoid chasing modern trends in favor of reclaiming their classic sound.
Seinfeld explained that the guiding philosophy for the new material came from producer Matt Hyde, who encouraged the band to embrace their identity rather than run from it.
“I’m so proud of it. [There was] something about our confidence in making Biohazard songs [this time around],” Seinfeld told. “Our producer, Matt Hyde, said, ‘Hey, guys, don’t try to reinvent the wheel here. Don’t try to be Lorna Shore. Don’t try to like change your sound. People want a Biohazard record. People want a record that would come in between Urban Discipline and State Of The World Address. So that’s what we tried to give them.”
According to Seinfeld, the timing of the recording sessions played a crucial role in shaping the album’s direction. Fresh off a successful European trek featuring the original lineup, the band was already locked into the groove of their early catalog.
“It was cool because we were on this huge sold-out European tour before we did the record, and every night we were playing all the old songs. And because it was the O.G. lineup, we just played stuff from the first three records. And it put us in that headspace — old school. And we find that our lyrics, our socially conscious lyrics are as relevant today as ever.”
When asked about the songwriting dynamic, Seinfeld emphasized that Divided We Fall was far from a one-man show. While drummer Danny Schuler brought a significant amount of material to the table, the final product was the result of a true democracy.
“Everybody had songs and everybody had riffs and everybody had ideas. Danny [Schuler, Biohazard drummer] came in with a motherload of f**king amazing material. But everybody in the band wrote songs on this album. Everybody in the band contributed music and lyrics.”
He noted that the magic of Biohazard lies in the combination of its specific members.
“And everybody in this band is really prolific, and everybody in this band can make their own album. But only when you have all the ingredients of the soup is it f**king the soup.”
Divided We Fall was released on October 17, 2025, via BLKIIBLK. The album was tracked at Shorefire Recording Studios in New Jersey and The Hydeaway in California, featuring engineering by Joseph DeMaio and production tech duties by Phil Caivano.
