Biohazard

'Brooklyn-spawned agit-rockers with a conscience, Biohazard preach inner spirituality with a scream and a f*ck-off guitar riff. Unlike most guitar-orientated bands, Biohazard has two lead vocalists, each with his own distinctive style but with a common philosophy - the underdog needs a voice and people need their eyes opening.'

New York is known as a sacred institution for heavy music. Shaped by ideals surrounding everyday lifes trials and tribulations with an honest desperation and urgency, metal and hardcore have been as much about attitude as about the music. Ushering in a new age of crossover, paved by acts such as Anthrax, Agnostic Front and other New York vets, you can now add Sworn Enemy to the list of bands forming a caustic hybridization of thrashy, intense metal with the thud, and grit of hardcore. Formed in Queens, NY in late 1997, they were soon pushed to the frontlines of proud New York hardcore/metal acts. The band have acquired the bass skills of Mike Couls of Detriot hardcore band Cold As Life, sharpening the band's impact into the most hardworking and intense band around.
