Reunited metal-core purveyors BIOHAZARD have announced they will play the New England Metal And Hardcore Festival, which will take place Thursday, April 14th through Saturday, April 16th, at the Palladium in Worcester, MA.

The band plans to treat fans to a set full of Biohazard classics, and possibly a preview of some new material that will be featured on their upcoming spring release.

Guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei comments: "It's been years since we've played anywhere in New England - 15 years with the original Biohazard, so the show will be off the hook for our old school friends. I'm looking forward to playing in front of those people who have never seen Biohazard before but have heard the stories from their older brothers or sisters about the shows back in the day. I'm looking forward to finally getting Biohazard back to New England with the ORIGINAL lineup!"
