Byzantine is a Post-Thrash/Groove Metal band hailing from Charleston, West Virginia. They formed in 2000, were signed to Prosthetic Records and have released four full length albums: "The Fundamental Component" (2004), "And They Shall Take up Serpents" (2005), "Oblivion Beckons" (2008), and Byzantine (2013). As the third millennium got under way, heavy metal fans finally began emerging from their grunge fallout shelters and, having endured an additional period of oppression beneath the mostly horrific reign of nu metal, found some exciting new hard music alternatives before them, at last.
