Powerhouse vocals and a killer thrash sensibility and just right up my alley. It makes the kid in me happy." - Mark Tremonti, Tremonti/Alter Bridge "Byzantine is an incredible band and Metal Blade has made a supremely excellent choice in their signing. Monster riffs, soulful vocals, passionate thought provoking lyrics. Byzantine is precisely what I look for in a winning metal band." - Gene Hoglan, Dark Angel/Death/ Strapping Young Lad/Testament “The Byz are back and better than ever, and yes, STILL, nobody beats ‘em.” – Jose Mangin, Sirius XM “Easily one of my most anticipated bands to hear. Byzantine from West ‘By God’ Virginia does not disappoint!” - Chris Kael, Five Finger Death Punch "I Love this band! We play Byzantine before every MH show to get riled up. Aggressive melodic thrash with amazing solos? Fuck yes! - Phil Demmel, Machine Head
