BYZANTINE Reunion: Video Interview, Performance Footage Available

March 12, 2010

West Virginia metallers BYZANTINE played three reunion shows earlier in the month in the band's home state.

Fan-filmed video footage of the group's March 6 concert at The V Club in Huntington can be viewed below. Also available is an interview Metal Maiden conducted with BYZANTINE on March 7 at 123 Pleasant Street in Morgantown.

Shortly following the January 2008 release of "Oblivion Beckons", the foursome announced that they were disbanding. This announcement came as an unpleasant surprise to their fans, particularly due to the fact that they would not be touring at all in support of their newest album.

Vocalist/rhythm guitarist Chris "OJ" Ojeda had this to say about their recent reunion: "Two and a half years ago we put a sudden and abrupt halt to our musical careers under the name BYZANTINE. It was a really anti-climactic way to go out. We know a lot of fans and friends alike felt cheated that we didn't play any shows supporting our last album, 'Oblivion Beckons'. Now we all feel like it's time to give a little something back, all guns blazing. Unfortunately, we are unable to tour since we live scattered across three states, have children and full-time jobs, but we want to give our local fans something to remember us by."
