Biography

BYSTANDER is an American heavy metal band based out of the USA. Blending more technical styles of death metal riffs with groove inspired deathcore breakdowns, BYSTANDER brings forth a crushing sound reminiscent of the golden era of heavy metalcore & “djent,” appealing to fans of Whitechapel, Meshuggah, Thy Art Is Murder, Volumes, Born Of Osiris, After the Burial & more. 
 The band originally formed under the name Sisyphean Conscience in October of 2010 initially made up of 5 childhood friends, two being brothers. 4/5 of the original members are still with the group today: Guitarist Blaine Brun, drummer Garrett Haag, bassist Austin Haag, and frontman Taylor Gorman. In the winter of 2015 guitarist John Dormier joined the band helping to craft a new sound and writing direction that would become BYSTANDER. After trying to write new music as Sisyphean Conscience for many years the band decided that the sound was too new & unique with the addition of John Dormier, making the tough decision to rebrand as BYSTANDER and start their journey as a new project. 
 BYSTANDER will continue to bring crushing extreme metal music to the table in the coming years as they tour nationally and eventually world wide.
