Back in early January, Prosthetic Records sent me a review copy of Byzantine’s Oblivion Beckons. I loved it! It was an amazing record but shortly after it’s release Byzantine announced that they would no longer be continuing as a band. This disappointed a lot of people and the reason for the break up was never really clarified by the band publicly.

In some news lately, Korn revealed that they are going to be working on a cover album. Cover albums are great because we all love to hear our favorite bands covering other people songs…but why does it seem that bands tend to put out cover albums when all else is in the crapper?
