Chris Ojeda and Brian Henderson perform a rhythm and lead guitar play through of "The Subjugated" off of Byzantine's 2017 release "The Cicada Tree" courtesy of Metal Blade Records.
Riff mastery, I get goose bumps every time I hear this. The drums too, perfection. For me a top 10 song of the last decade. Byzantine can do no wrong!!
The best band on the metal scene does it again. I haven't missed a show by you guys in Atlanta since Fundamental Component. Every time you guys kill it; and you're awesome to hang with after the show. Keep doing what you do.
3:48 all right, the entire metal genre can piss right off for not recognizing these guys as among the best to have ever done it. That riff is NASTY, and OJ is playing it. THAT MAN IS THE LEAD SINGER, LADIES.
Holy shit, I feel bad now, that I never got around to listening to this album. The production is so much more professional and I just overall like this song a lot more than the material from their last two albums. This feels much more consistent with the sound of their first incarnation as Byzantine.
Hell yeah! Gave the whole album a listen after hearing this. I really like it, it's quite varied. And Verses of Violence blew my socks off! Will be buying this album. I'm so glad that you guys decided to do this as an expression of your passion, at a time when you felt it was right for you to come back.
Delay and is that a little bit of flanger on the intro? (Don’t really know why I’m asking-I’ll never be able to play the whole song. You guys are fuckin’ good)
Yep, modded out with a killswitch in the tone knob position and with Bareknuckle Pickups. A Holy Diver in the bridge position and a Cold Sweat in the neck.
I don’t understand how u guys are huge? Oh I understand, you got too many changes for dumb America and real drums. Next time try to say Billy Jean and Dior over and over. People like that with trap beats. And get on Tick Tock as soon as possible because you tube has long videos and is old. What a fucking joke music has became in the Great America. U guys are the best. Keep true and real!,,
