Byzantine Unleash New Track “Floating Chrysanthema,” Announce Upcoming Album ‘Harbingers’

Byzantine are back with a brand-new single and details of their upcoming album. The West Virginian groove metal veterans have dropped “Floating Chrysanthema”, the first taste of their seventh studio album, Harbingers, due out June 13th via Metal Blade Records.

The album was recorded with producer Peter Wichers (Soilwork, Darkest Hour, Nevermore), and the new track delivers a thunderous statement of intent. Speaking on the single, frontman/guitarist Chris Ojeda shared:

“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.”

01 – “Consequentia”
02 – “A Place We Cannot Go”
03 – “Floating Chrysanthema”
