Reveals title for upcoming sixth full-length!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
West Virginian groove metal outfit BYZANTINE<\/b> has finished recording their upcoming sixth full-length, and Metal Blade Records debut: ‘The Cicada Tree<\/i><\/b>‘. Set to be released in spring 2017, ‘The Cicada Tree<\/i><\/b>‘ was recorded at 7over8 Studios in Myrtle Beach, SC with producer and engineer Jay Hannon.

Chris Ojeda (vocals, rhythm guitar) comments: “‘The Cicada Tree’ represents 16 years of a heavy metal band thriving completely underground. Byzantine has been on a slow burn since 2000, constantly crafting our brand of heavy metal and now, with the support of Metal Blade Records, we will finally get a chance to showcase our music on a bigger stage.<\/i>“<\/p>\n
BYZANTINE<\/b> was formed in 2000 by vocalist\/guitarist Chris Ojeda and former guitarist Tony Rohrbough. After releasing three albums via Prosthetic Records, touring with Lamb of God<\/b>, playing the main stage of New England Metal and Hardcore Festival, and receiving much praise from fans and media alike, the band abruptly called it quits in early 2008 – but it wasn’t long before the metal community demanded their return. In 2012, a reinvigorated BYZANTINE<\/b> reunited with their seminal line-up, and consequently delivered two highly praised albums, which were crowd-funded through Kickstarter and Pledge Music and self-released. Now, after having been an independent artist since 2013, Ojeda and his crew are back with a new record deal, poised to dominate the scene once again with ‘The Cicada Tree<\/i><\/b>‘.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned for more news about ‘The Cicada Tree<\/i><\/b>‘ coming soon!<\/p>\n
