Reborn In Defiance, the longawaited new studio album from New York hardcore metal legends Biohazard, has been confirmed for a January 20, 2012 release date.

The album will be released via Nuclear Blast worldwide outside of North America, with a US label partner soon to be announced. The band will celebrate the launch with a record release party in their hometown of Brooklyn, New York before setting off on an extensive international tour.

Not only is Reborn In Defiance Biohazard’s first original lineup album in 18 years, but it also marks the last album recorded by the band before the departure of bassist and co-vocalist Evan Seinfeld. The album remains a testament to the four founding members (Billy Graziadei, Bobby Hambel, Evan Seinfeld and Danny Schuler) and their unique chemistry.
