BYZANTINE Offers Seven-Minute Teaser From Forthcoming Album

November 13, 2007

West Virginia's forward-thinking thrashers BYZANTINE have posted a seven-minute teaser audio file online, featuring snippets of tracks from the band's forthcoming record, "Oblivion Beckons". The file is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page, where you can also find the band's recent cover of EYEHATEGOD's "Shoplift", which appeared on the double-disc tribute album "For The Sick" alongside contributions from other Prosthetic acts KYLESA and THE ESOTERIC, among other artists.

Set for a January 22 release through Prosthetic, "Oblivion Beckons" is the follow-up to 2005's "...And They Shall Take Up Serpents", which led to touring throughout the United States and Canada, including an appearance at New England Metal and Hardcore Festival in 2006. The band's first-ever DVD, "Salvation", came out earlier in the year, featuring a live performance, exclusive bootlegs, an uncut video for the track "Jeremiad" and behind-the-scenes footage and interviews. A trailer can be viewed below.
