Byzantine‘s new single “Floating Chrysanthema” has been unveiled alongside the reveal of the West Virginian groove metal band’s new studio album “Harbingers“. Recording sessions for this seventh full-length from the group took place under Peter Wichers (Darkest Hour, Nevermore). Metal Blade will have it out on June 13th. As for this new cut from it, Vocalist/guitarist Chris Ojeda offered:
“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.”
