Mega Beardo on VINYL?!

In an effort to get my original music out there physically to as many of you as possible, I have used elasticStage to make it available on vinyl and CD, worldwide. They are a print-on-demand service, and I can attest for the quality. With shipping outside of the US being such an expensive hassle these days, this is the best, most economical way to make this happen. This also marks the first time that Belmont has been available physically for over a decade, and the first time ever for Belmont 2! So! Here is what is available from elasticStage (LINK)

Abscind (Vinyl / CD)
From Beyond the Gradient (Vinyl / CD)
Belmont (CD only)
Belmont 2 (CD only)

In addition, I do have CD copies of Abscind and From Beyond the Gradient on hand and ready to purchase through bandcamp. For those outside the US, the elasticStage option is probably cheaper, but if you want to check for yourself, I have those available on my bandcamp site.

As always, thanks for supporting and listening to my tunes after all these years!

Byzantine's "Harbingers" is Finally on Vinyl!

 

That's right. Ten months after its initial release date (June 13, 2025), our new album "Harbingers" is officially on vinyl for a 200-copy run. We were able to fast track this thanks to our friends at Hellbender Vinyl in Pittsburgh to celebrate Record Store Day at Orbit's Records in Barboursville, WV. Despite heavy rain and wind most of the afternoon, we headlined the RSD party in front of Orbit's Records and celebrated music with a bunch of our friends.

We also dove into cassettes for the first time and released our fifth studio album "To Release is To Resolve" on that format that I honestly haven't touched in about 30 years! It's interesting how that all comes back around. I love that people of all ages still celebrate physical media in this current algorithm-based hellscape of media consumption. 

If you want to grab yourself a copy of these new editions, or any other merch we have available, head on over to the official Byzantine merch store: https://byzmerch.bigcartel.com/

Until next time (which I promise will be sooner than the 3+ years since my last post). I'll have Mega Beardo news in the coming weeks!
