Getting the Old Band Back Together…
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010Byzantine is a technical metal band from West Virgina, excuse me, were a technical metal band from West Virginia. They released three albums and a video that were just plain awesome. Right around the time that they decided to stop worshiping Messhuggah so much, they also all managed to knock up their wimminfolk (well, 3/4 of them did) and realized that being in an obscure, though critically loved, heavy metal band may not be the best way to provide for children. So, the pretty much released their last album and broke up simultaneously (oh, also their label kept screwing them over on a release date).
But, since they didn’t break up over “creative differences” or “we f’ing hate each other,” they’re free to do things like reunite for shows around the hometown. Which they did. Which is awesome.
