Byzanthian Neckbeard – set to release their album “Extinction” on September 27, 2019 #ByzanthianNeckbeard

“Stranded on an island enveloped by fog, lost in the English channel and forgotten by time there is only doom.”

Some bands quite simply embody their name in every shape and form, and when it comes to Byzanthian Neckbeard… you get the picture quickly. Riff-laden doom is on offer on this follow-up EP, after their début From the Clutches of Oblivion took them out of their native Guernesy and straight onto the New Blood Stage at UK’s Bloodstock Festival.

Extinction takes a while to limber up, but once “Coffin Bomb” gets into the swing of things, the trio put on a no-punches-pulled performance across each of the three tracks. Phil Skyrme’s guttural vocals match up to the rough-and-fuzzy riffing, matched perfectly to Dan Robilliard’s muscular bass playing and Paul Etasse’s precise and groove-driven drumming. “Extinction” takes us out with a seven-minute stomper.

Thus the EP ends, ready to be looped again until more material emerges from the island-bound miscreants who go by the name of Byzanthian Neckbeard.
