Let me see…air raid sirens…this must be the new Biohazard disc. I was pleasantly surprised to find this promo in my mailbox the other day. I hadn't even known there was a new Biohazard disc in the works.

Biohazard has held a special place in my black and rusted metal heart since their Urban Discipline album back in '92. Man, that was 13 years ago. Damn. Time sure does fly. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys on tour with Slayer for their "State of the World Address" and "Divine Intervention" albums respectively. It was a killer show.

I missed a few albums the last few years, but it sounds to me like Biohazard is returning to the sound of their early albums. This can only be a good thing. This disc sounds angry, aggressive, and bleak. They have always had a talent for making me feel the hopelessness of their songs. And yet titles like "The Fire Burns Inside" and "Kings Never Die" seem to suggest optimism in the face of life's constant quest to end us.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain in my chair and type this review, as the music on my iPod is compelling me to jump up and thrash around my office in remembrance of pits passed. I realize now that I need to go home and load up the Pod with all my other Biohazard discs so I can venture back to the neighborhood where Biohazard reigns.

This disc is freakin' awesome. I may look normal to anyone observing me at the moment, but I'm moshing like hell on the inside. Down for life!
