| Description: | Cicada Tree by Byzantine, released 27 July 2017, includes the following tracks: "Map Of The Creator", "Trapjaw", "Incremental", "Verses Of Violence" and more.
This version of Cicada Tree comes as a 1xCD. - To state that The Cicada Tree is 'classic Byzantine' in no way implies that this is an album solely rooted in the band's past. Certainly, all of the hallmarks that have made their sound so compelling for close to two decades are present and correct: muscular yet lithe riffs and fluid leads play against gripping, dynamic and at times unpredictable rhythms, while rich melodies and lyrics that are both involved and intelligent wind their way through every track. But, once more, the groove metal unit has continued their steady evolution - the interplay between their members organic and natural, imbuing the record's sixty-two-minute running time with a freshness and urgency.Released as a clear jewelcase with a 12-page booklet containing lyrics and credits.
