Damn that sucks.

According to their Facebook, next year they're 're-releasing the last album for Europe and it's gonna have two covers , FF Pisschrist and a AiC song. Looking forward to that for sure.

Byzantine have signed a worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records. The band are preparing their as-yet untitled new album for an early 2017 release date through the label. Frontman Chris “OJ” Ojeda commented:

“For the last few albums, we have operated outside the fringes of the music community by necessity. I had almost lost hope that we would ever have the chance to showcase our music to the world on a bigger stage. With the help of Brian Slagel and Metal Blade Records, we feel like Byzantine has been given a 2nd chance to make our 1st impression. We are absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to share our brand of heavy music with the world on the world’s best metal label!”

Awesome.

Not sure about the new drummer, but the other guys are solid players.
