Keefy sits down with Billy Graziadei of Biohazard to talk about the band’s long-awaited tenth studio album, Divided We Fall, released October 17, 2025, via BLKIIBLK. Produced by Matt Hyde, the record marks a significant new chapter for one of hardcore’s most influential and enduring bands.

Billy digs into the writing process, the themes driving the album, and how Biohazard approached reconnecting with their roots without repeating the past. From the studio sessions to the energy behind the band’s 2025 direction, this is a deep look at the mindset and momentum behind Divided We Fall.

Chuck Billy chats with Keefy about Testament’s 14th album, Para Bellum. Also featuring Eric Peterson, Alex Skolnick, Steve Di Giorgio, and new drummer Chris Dovas, the record sharpens their thrash edge, blends black-metal intensity, and tackles themes tied to technology and conflict. Bold, focused, and forward-looking, Para Bellum proves that Testament is still driving metal into new territory.

Para Bellum is available now via Nuclear Blast Records.
