Chris Ojeda and Byzantine just keep on plugging away in the underground. It really feels wrong that these guys haven’t managed to break through more than they have. Maybe it’s the West Virginia thing. I don’t know, but they just keep on putting out solid album after solid album. Harbingers is just full of crunchy and groovy riffs. Solid, solid band.
