US metallers BYZANTINE have posted the following update at their official website:

"Sorry to inform you guys but as of last week, Byzantine and lead guitarist Tony Rorhbough have parted ways. Tony is a founding member and has been an integral part of Byzantine since it's conception in 2000. Tony's musical ability, technical prowess and overall mastery of the language of guitar will be missed immensely and we in Byzantine wish him all the best with all his future endeavors.

The upcoming Under The Underground Tour in October with HALO OF LOCUSTS and THE DREAM IS DEAD will continue as planned. Byzantine has hired long time friend Eric Seevers (Liecus) to fill in temporarily for this tour. After that, Byzantine will look for a permanent replacement for the lead guitarist position."
