Chris Akin continues his “legends of hardcore” tour with Billy Graziadei, guitarist/vocalist of the iconic band Biohazard! Billy is here to talk all about the band’s new album, Divided We Fall, their first record in 13 years. Billy opens up about why producer Matt Hyde told him to “unlearn” everything and be “Billy Biohazard 1993,” the difficulty of letting go of control after his solo work with PowerFlo and Billy Bio, and his incredible story about turning down Rick Rubin at CBGBs. They also dive into how the current political and social division in the world makes the album’s message of unity and survival more relevant than ever.
