BYZANTINE Frontman To Record Thrash Metal Covers Album

May 10, 2008

BYZANTINE vocalist/rhythm guitarist Chris "OJ" Ojeda has entered the studio to begin recording his solo project, which is a cover album of late '80s and early '90s thrash metal songs that inspired him and his bandmates to form BYZANTINE. "As of right now I have eight songs started and should have them finished on a very tentative schedule within the next two months," Ojeda says.

The cover album, which will be recorded under the band name BLACK CAP MINER, is being tracked by longtime BYZANTINE producer/engineer Charles A. Fisher and mixed by Drew Mazurek. Ojeda is handling the rhythm section and vocals himself and will be featuring various lead guitarists to handle the lead guitar work. The guitarists will be revealed at a later time.

"This is gonna be a blast!" Chris says. "These are songs that I have dug for over 15 years and to have some of my good touring friends ripping it up on these songs with me will be a hoot! There will be some shredders on here for sure!"

The songs slated to be recorded are as follows:

MEGADETH - "The Conjuring"
NUCLEAR ASSAULT - "Brainwashed"
ANNIHILATOR - "Allison Hell"
M.O.D. - "True Colors"
TESTAMENT - "Greenhouse Effect"
WRATHCHILD AMERICA - "Climbing the Walls"
EXHORDER - "Legions of Death"
KREATOR - "People of the Lie"
