Formed in 1986, Sacred Reich is part of the second wave of thrash, along with Testament, Death Angel, Destruction and Dark Angel. Over the years, Sacred Reich has produced a catalog of politically charged aggressive music that has stood the test of time.

Byzantine will be touring in support of their upcoming album, The Cicada Tree, due out summer 2017. Heralded as the most underrated band from the New Wave of American Heavy Metal Movement, Byzantine recently launched a PledgeMusic campaign for The Cicada Tree, with every “pledge”/purchase receiving a digital download of the tracks, plus exclusive content. To reserve your copy of the album (with 2 cover songs by Fishbone and the Cars), signed material from the band, apparel, and more, please visit: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/byzantine2017
