I've always dug the shit out of this snare...

I know! You never really hear this level of acoustic precision in metal snares these days. I mean, they're out there, but the popular thing at the moment is the one-dimensional "thud" snares that are compressed and sampled to shit.
 
Band + video are so gay. Snare is nothing special... I don't get it.
 
Love that snare as well, dude its the same snare thats on Type O's Bloody Kisses :)

These guys were a blast to tour with!



Little known fact.... the amps and drums to record both albums were identical

When did you start listening to metal? Last week? :lol: That was the 90's man, that was considered the shit!

Hes just a very opinionated fart knocker .....lol

Ya back in the early 90s man you didnt have many choices of bands still playing metal. Megadeth and Metallica got lighter, all the bands from the mid 80s were not being played any more, so we needed something to grasp on to. On the east coast it was definitely bands like BioHazard, the cross over Metal / Hardcore bands were HUGE then.

I was in a band very similar and left in the mid 90s cause I wanted to thrash out but there was no market for it. Totally fucking sucked. Thankfully in the late 90s bands like Nevermore came along and pushed the genre back to the forefront, and now we are in a big Thrash revival.

One of my faves from the same time period:

guitarguru777: fuckin ay man! someone playing hugely to my 90's sentiments! I fuckin loved the 90's for metal, even though I was just a school kid, it just spoke to me so much more than today's saturated scenes!

I totally didn't know that about type-o and biohazard havin the same production set up but I'm starting to hear similarities now you mention it!

This can be Clearmountine sample, something like this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1351134/3.1A SN H.wav mixed with some real snare or something

That snare sounds incredible, I can't find those samples anywhere though, only discussions about them on forums? What am I doing wrong? ¯\(°_o)/¯ HOW DO INTERNET?!
 
I think part of the reason that snare sounds so good, is back in the day things were mastered in such a way that you were allowed to hear the damn transient of the snare. It's got that crack because it hasn't been "g-clipped" seven fucking times.
 
There were plennnty of heavier bands than Biohazard in the 90's... sorry, it's just really gay shit. White dudes pseudo-rapping tough-guy style over weak music, the video is a joke, spinning around in circles and spitting? C'mon... Sorry to say but Biohazard is just not "heavy." Like at all. Anyway, the point of the thread isn't if you like them or not just that Mattayus likes the snare sound so... apologies and carry on.

I agree that BH was huge but they certainly haven't aged well and it's silly to ignore that we had Pantera, MH, Sep, COC and a bunch of other far better metal bands at the time (not even mentioning the amazing stuff coming from Sweden at the time).

As far as the dude who thinks Emure is better, all I can say is that at best they're a parallel-- a very timely band with lots of hype but not much to offer. Both are (were) highly visible gateways to better music IMHO.

I thought the same till I saw them live. Only non-stop hardcore songs.

And for sure there were a lot of heavier bands, is that any relevant?

And that snare is huge!
 
Yeah being heavy or not is irrelevant, IMO. This is a mostly metal forum so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised people don't like Biohazard. I just didn't expect someone would call them gay and shit.
