Byström (band) is an American metal band from Sacramento, California. Founded in 2012 by the performing artist Byström, or Mr. James as he is known to some, the band saw its debut release in July of 2013 with the seven song EP entitled 'Remnants of Putrification'.

In Swedish, the name Byström means ″by the stream″.

Career
A combination of Black Metal and Death Metal, the band has a definitive sound mixing both classic fast tremolo riffs with a heavy undertone. The majority of the lyrical content featured in Byström's songs has to deal with an inconsolable distaste for humanity, religion, society as a whole and its creations. 2015 releases from the blackened death metal artist included cover titles "Pool Shark" and "The Hills", an unexpected change from the typical genre material associated with the band.

Films
In 2015, Byström acted and directed in the horror anthology film Virus of the Dead, in a segment called "Wrong Door". As Benjamin, he played the role of a drug dealer turned zombie. Clint Eastwood's daughter, Kathryn, also appeared in the film.
