BYZANTINE - Live from 123 Pleasant St. (HD PRO SHOT) 

West by god Virginia metal !!!

one of the most underrated bands on the planet

Criminally underrated band. I've loved these guys since I was 15. (33 now). I would give anything to see them in Europe.

I remember back when these guys were first beginning and I saw them play at a Tool cd release party at a National Record Mart. They didn't even have a drummer at that time and were using a drum machine. I knew they would be huge and I was right. They've only gotten better with time.

There aren't enough words to express how much I love this band. These guys do it for the right reasons, they deserve so much more in terms of exposure and tours. I will say it for all: NO ONE BEATS THE BYZ! I have the T shirt (and several others) to prove it! Haha. Some of the best musicians and down to earth guys you could meet. Can't wait to see you again in '24! Edited: Now I can't wait to see you again in 2024!! Fundamental vinyl is nice btw 🤘🏻

First concert I ever went to was one of theirs, was in a cramped hallway in an old industrial building. Got to meet the lead singer himself, he installed the kitchen floor in my parents house and signed my demo cd I got from a friend who stole it. At this point I thought they'd be way bigger than they are

Some of the most catchy riffs ever written. Can't wait to see what 2023/2024 brings us.

Absolutely killer band.

West By God 🤘

I have been a fan for years ,man some of these songs actually beat the recorded versions!!! Freaking sickkkkk!!!! All hail the BYZ!!!!

This is awesome I've been a byzantine fan ever since I was a kid, My brothers GF gave me a copy of their demo, with the drum machine and I wore that CD out I listened to it so much! cheers from Eastern Kentucky.

Fuck yeah. These guys are good. Love from Australia

The most underrated band of the 21st century. Thank you for posting this.

props to who ever recorded & uploaded 👍 GOOD JOB

Wouldn't be surprised if the drummer has pipes too! My god every one in this band can sing/scream!!! 😁🔥🔥🔥

I've been listening to these guys for years and cannot imagine why they are not playing arenas by now, unless it is by choice. They all seem very real and down to earth people so perhaps they choose to blow the minds of people in smaller venues instead of dealing with all the plasticity and stress of large arena touring and publicity. Who knows. I thank God for this band as their music helped me deal with the passing of my father in 2008 (the Oblivion Beckons record in particular). Absolutely amazing songwriters and players and this video displays them in all their badass glory!

This is what its all about. A True live performance, when you can hear every detail, string sliding, tuning guitar live and just proper rough, then you know there is nothing to hide. The Amazing performance by OJ vocals and other band members made this live concert amazing experience. A lot of bands can learn from This, his is what we want a true experience! I loved every hiccup and every second of it, and I am Surprised that they played that many Fundamental Component album songs. Cant wait for more!

Amazing performance! This is another proof how underrated band sound much better than mainstream bands. OJ love you can sing high, mid and even growl. Also great bass lines. Byzantine your music is a journey. Please pull strenght together so you can come to Europe. :)

How the fuck are these guys not way bigger? I just found out about them a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed now. I would have loved to have been at that show. Killer music! 🤘

Greatest metal band in the past 20 years. I actually gave up and left my projects after I started listening to these guys after a few years. Simply because I knew that I had nothing to offer that could come close. They were already doing what I was trying to do. I knew there was no way in hell that I could make anything out of it nearly as good. If the entire world can't get on the same page about how amazing the writing is in this band is, then humanity has no hope I got my piece of history from OJ. He sold me his Elvevn Rack from a couple albums he used it on. Fuckers is a piece of history in my eyes. So it sits in a bigass shadow box hanging on my wall.

one of my favorite bands, one of the best comebacks ever, and one of the most consistently quality producing bands there is in metal right now. Byzantine has been more of deserving of their flowers.

I discovered Byzantine about 2 months ago and I'm still soo addicted that I'm listening to 3 or 4 albums every day!! I'm working on getting Byzantine more exposure on reaction channels, I've already gotten 2 channels to check them out and another one will drop in a couple of weeks when it's my turn on the roster. I'm a new fan but I'm a huge freaking fan, Byzantine is one of the best bands I've ever heard in my entire life!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

love their effortless mix of classical & bluesy style in the riffs! chorus is always on point too 🤘

Ridiculously good. Tight. Great sound/mix.

To see these guys live is a whole different experience... Killer Band 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Pure, unadulterated West by God Virginia Metal 🤘🏻plain and simple.

Hendo was doodling !!!! Badass. That end of Jeremiad is so raunchy and then that clean lead!!!!. Fkn awes9me❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

🤘🏼My new favorite metal band for the last 10 years.

This brand is so underrated. Fucking love Byzantine

Why these guys haven't been put on the European festival circuit baffles me!!

This is the best footage I've seen of the band to date. The setlist was killer as well. Gotta love Hendo's throwback solo in Verses of Violence.

I bought 2 tickets and right before concert I tested positive for covid. Literally the only time I've been even mildly sick in the last 5 years. They are my #1 favorite band. I'm still so annoyed

great performance, loves from İstanbul Turkey

No idea how you’re not a household radio name and regularly touring. Amazing concert!

Thrash as its finest! Greetings from Brazil!!!

Greatest band of all time. Thanks you for putting this up on RU-vid ❤

Still the tightest live band ive ever seen

Fucking amazing performance! The LOG message board was how I came across these guys, way back in 2003 or so. OJ might have been on there... At any rate, seeing this makes me so happy!!! Greetings from the Pacific Northwest. I would love to catch a show if you ever make it up here.

God damn this band is so good

So awesome reliving this show. It was a nearly 12 hour drive, and it was worth every bit of it!

Liked before even watching. Byzantine rules!

Thanks for the upload guys! I really wish I could arrange a way to get you up here to go a show in Upstate New York.

Greatest band ever 💜

completed my Byzantine CD collection this week!

Wow, these guys never let me down. Ever since I was exposed to Hatfield through a recommendation on the Machine Head forum nearly 20 years ago I've been a huge fan. I'm gutted I didn't get to see the Byz on their rare forays to the UK, but videos like this help ease that. Thank you and long may you continue! OJ is a riff master among the elite in my eyes and keeps getting better.

I don't even care that I watched this when you streamed it on FB, I'm watching it again. This is awesome. You guys are outstanding.

Coming from Europe and not being able to see you guys live, this is such a treat OJ, thank you very much for this, this live recording is one for ages!.

Awesome band, love their music. Listening to these guys for over 10 years. Cheers from Canada 🤘🤘🤘

God I love these guys so much

What a legendary underrated band.

Pretty awesome that bands across the country listen to these guys before going out on stage to play live, hell even the crazy bam margera listens to these guys !

Add centurion!!!! That crushes Slayer even!!!

Really good production on this guys!!

Thank you for posting your performance, I've always wanted to see you guys live 🤘🤘

Badass!!!

top notch musicianship and even classier dudes. How these guys arent as big or (bigger) than LOG is beyond me

Hot damn!! Where have you been all my life??

This is amazing.

Great show! My buddy and I were front row for this 🤘

From experience Morgantown was the TOWN of TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!! Uggh. This is/was the first place I ever played, doesn't look much different. Great show BTW!.........Jerm

goddamn this is pure gold🤘🤘🤘🤘this live version is immaculate, they still got it

One song from The Cicada Tree? yikes.. would have love to have heard, Servitude or Map of the Creator. I guess we get what you give. All good, ripping jams regardless!!

Old TESTAMENT 14:35

Sick. Got some Gojira vibes going. But i guess Gojira is just what happens if Morbid Angel and Sepultura had sex.

Please come back to Northeast ohio

They need to stop trying to copy Devin Townsend

So tight,
