{"product_id":"biohazard-state-of-the-world-address-lp","title":"Biohazard - State Of The World Address (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the world of metal music, much of the heavy breathing and screaming centers around adolescent rites of passage, often rendered in sci-fi, Saturday-morning cartoon metaphors. To find a group which values the musical intensity of modern metal and thrash, but has something on their mind other than escapism and testosterone, you must journey into the heart of Brooklyn to encounter the power of Biohazard.\u003cbr\u003eOn the inside flap of the CD tray card, Biohazard is pictured in reflection against the inscription, \"Honor the courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty and country of our Vietnam veterans,\" a theme close to their heart as depicted on \"Remember.\" Such is the moral tone of STATE OF THE WORLD ADDRESS, in which Biohazard turns their blaring searchlight of rage upon the disturbing day-to-day realities of post-Cold War America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone of which mean squat to your typical headbanger if not for Biohazard's wild, over-the-top musical signature--a speed-metal wall of rage. It's all there on the title tune as drummer Danny Schuler keys the furious rhythm changes, while Bobby Hambel's soaring lead guitar vies with the vocal ravings of Billy Graziadei and Evan Seinfeld for center stage. As a result, STATE OF THE WORLD ADDRESS distances Biohazard from most bands in the heavy metal genre by focusing on issues of urban crime (\"Tales From The Hard Side\" and \"Five Blocks To The Subway\"), child abuse (\"Love Denied\"), and inner city blight (\"Failed Territory\"). Biohazard is not concerned with entertainment, concentrating instead on the purgative potency of a power chord, feeding off of rejection and ignorance to fashion an emotional response you can't ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiohazard: Billy Graziadei (vocals, guitar, piano); Evan Seinfeld (vocals, bass); Bobby Hambel (acoustic \u0026amp; electric guitars); Danny Schuler (drums, percussion).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Sen-Dog (vocals).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at A\u0026amp;M Studios, Hollywood, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock, Metal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 State Of The World Address\u003cbr\u003eA2 Down For Life\u003cbr\u003eA3 What Makes Us Tick\u003cbr\u003eA4 Tales From The Hard Side\u003cbr\u003eA5 How It Is\u003cbr\u003eA6 Remember\u003cbr\u003eA7 Five Blocks To The Subway\u003cbr\u003eA8 Each Day\u003cbr\u003eB1 Failed Territory\u003cbr\u003eB2 Lack There Of\u003cbr\u003eB3 Pride\u003cbr\u003eB4 Human Animal\u003cbr\u003eB5 Cornered\u003cbr\u003eB6 Love Denied\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097593327875,"sku":"ONAFEG-5GX1-00","price":32.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/biohazard-state-of-the-world-address-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
