Byzantine
Byzantine is an American progressive groove/thrash metal band from Charleston, West Virginia, that was formed in 2000. As of June 2025, the band consists of frontman and co-founder Chris "OJ" Ojeda (vocals), Brian Henderson (guitar), Tony Rohrbough (guitar), Matt Bowles (drums), and Ryan Postlethwait (bass). The band has released three studio albums on Prosthetic Records, two independent albums, and two albums on Metal Blade Records. Byzantine is known for its unique sound and modern, "forward thinking" musical style which explores different musical territories and song structures. The band split on January 26, 2008, one day after the release of their third album, due to various circumstances, but reunited in 2010. In March 2016, Metal Blade Records announced that they had signed the band to a worldwide deal, and the band has since released two albums on the label.
