Rock 'n' rap pioneers Biohazard are finishing their seventh album, Uncivilization, for a June release. Recorded in their own Rat Piss Studios in Brooklyn, Uncivilization is the band's first fully self-produced album.

Sen Dog of Cypress Hill guests on the song, "Last Man Standing," and other artists who make appearances on Uncivilization include Treach of Naughty by Nature, as well as members of Pantera , Type O Negative, Sepultura and Hatebreed .

Formed in 1988, Biohazard -- guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei, drummer Danny Schuler, bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld and recent addition, guitarist Leo Curley -- are known for their brash, socially and politically minded songs. "We write songs about our own personal battles," says Seinfeld.

Biohazard will head out on a U.S. tour in late June.
