Biohazard
Artist Overview
Although Biohazard's landmark collaboration with rap group Onyx on a remix of that group's hit "Slam" (they also joined forces for the soundtrack to the film JUDGEMENT NIGHT) was far from the first rock/rap collaboration, it remains a commercial and in many ways artistic high point for the Brooklyn-based metal act. That said, Biohazard retained a loyal fanbase over the course of their decades-plus career, and their embrace of rap presaged many of the funk-oriented nu-metal acts that followed in Biohazard's wake, including Korn and Linkin Park. Likewise, their particular fusion of hardcore punk and metal was a direct precursor of the intense metalcore style that arose in the early 2000s.
