Biohazard’s Return: Billy Talks "Divided We Fall", Life, Loss & Rebuilding on The Hang!

The Hang! As Seen On Almost Famous Magazine!

In this episode of The Hang! from Almost Famous Magazine, host Scott Saldinger sits down with Billy Graziadei—better known as Billy Biohazard—the vocalist and guitarist of the legendary band Biohazard. As one of the pioneers of blending hardcore punk, heavy metal, and hip hop, Billy has spent decades shaping the sound of underground music while staying true to his Brooklyn roots and his belief in authenticity above all else.

Billy opens up about his early family influences, the impact of losing his mother at a young age, and how music became both an escape and a healing force. He shares how Biohazard’s groundbreaking sound was never a marketing strategy but a natural result of the environment—punk on one corner, hip hop on another, and metal in between. That raw mix created a style that continues to influence generations.

The conversation dives into Biohazard’s latest album, Divided We Fall, and how it reconnects with the band’s core energy from their 1990s heyday. Billy reflects on the advice of his late manager and mentor, whose words inspired the reunion of the original lineup. He emphasizes that imperfection gives music its soul, and that the energy of live performance—sweat, passion, and connection—is what keeps Biohazard vital even after decades.

Beyond the stage, Billy talks about his solo projects (BillyBio, Powerflo), his collaborations with Cypress Hill’s Sen Dog, and his passion for producing music. He also shares his entrepreneurial journey with Ghost Tequila, which has become a staple at music festivals like Punk Rock Bowling. For Billy, legacy isn’t about gold records—it’s about the impact on fans, the high-five moments on stage, and the authenticity that connects across generations.

From discussing mentorship, forgiveness, and the reunion with Evan Seinfeld, to the excitement of touring the U.S. for the first time in over 20 years, this episode captures the heart of an artist who refuses to compromise his passion. Billy also reveals dream collaborations, from Deftones and System of a Down to Nina Hagen and Suzi Sue, showing his deep respect for artists who carry the same raw energy.

Whether you’re a longtime Biohazard fan or new to their music, this episode delivers powerful stories about resilience, healing, legacy, and the undeniable energy that defines hardcore. As Billy says: “You either have it or you don’t.”
Don’t miss this deep conversation about music, life, and the fire that keeps one of hardcore’s true pioneers pushing forward.
