Byzantine - Disband After Eight Years


US Post-Thrash/Groove Metallers Byzantine have issued the following statement:

"In regards to the current state of Byzantine: As of today (Saturday, January 26) Byzantine is no longer a functioning band. Due to various circumstances the band will not be touring or performing together. We would like to first thank everyone that has supported this band throughout the years. You are the people that really made everything worthwhile and we are amazed at the wonderful response we have had from all of you. Because of you, we were part of something special and without you none of this would have been possible. Next, we would like to thank all the kickass bands that we have played shows with and hung out with. These were good times that we won't soon forget. It's with heavy hearts that we move on from this. Sincerely, from all of us in Byzantine, thank you so very much for the great experience that this was. Stay metal everyone. Montani Semper Liberi."

lol, they were notorious for cancelling live shows. if they weren't busy with cancelling certain concerts it's because they were too busy with cancelling entire tours. my friends and i just started calling them canceltine. it suits them.

Ha, I saw videos of them with Randy Blythe and they didn't seem too bad.

I hate to drudge up such old ass news, but with a new release(looks like a bunch of old stuff repackaged) coming up in a month, I feel alright asking this: Why did they break up? I never have been able to find a definitive answer. I saw them live about 2 years ago, they were awesome. Good guys too, not douchey like some bands.
