Means to an End
Means to an End is the eighth studio album by Biohazard, the American hardcore punk band. It came out in August 2005 on Steamhammer, with a US release on 30 August 2005. It followed Kill or Be Killed from 2003 and sits between the band's early run of records, from the self-titled debut in 1990 onwards, and the long gap before Reborn in Defiance in 2012.
The record is worth hearing for the change in the band's line-up. Guitarist Scott Roberts, previously of the Cro-Mags and the Spudmonsters, appears here after taking over from Carmine Vincent during the band's earlier touring schedules. For anyone following Biohazard through the 2000s, it shows how the group sounded with Roberts in the ranks.
