Review
Run-DMC and Aerosmith may have spearheaded the rap-rock revolution, but Brooklyn’s Biohazard are equally responsible for the oversaturated nü-metal scene. The band emerged in the early ’90s, combining hardcore punk rhythms with pugnacious hip-hop vocals, and fine-tuned the formula for years. But with their seventh album, Kill or Be Killed, Biohazard seem determined to slay the beast they rode in on. Brutal and uncompromising, the songs combine the down-tuned ferocity of Slayer with the chant-along refrains of late-’80s Anthrax. To mix things up, Biohazard toy with tribal rhythms and experimental feedback on “Heads Kicked In” and end “Hallowed Ground” with an ominous spoken-word passage that strings together their song titles in a vague threat of vengeance.
