Byzantine hint a new track titled “Floating Chrysanthema”

Byzantine, a groove metal band from West Virginia, is planning new music for next week. A teaser for the group’s new track, “Floating Chrysanthema,” which will be released on Monday, April 14th, is available below. It’s off their next album “Harbingers,” which was recorded by Peter Wichers (Nevermore, Darkest Hour).

The track details a bleak dystopian future when artificial intelligence becomes sentient and overpowers mankind, essentially enslaving us all. Our bassist, Ryan Postlethwait, brought this song to the band and we thought it hit like a sledgehammer and would be a perfect first introduction of our new music to the fans. Our producer, Peter Wichers (Soilwork) had a big hand in helping craft this song into its final iteration. Chris Ojeda
