BOTCH  Unifying Themes Redux  CD   (Hydra Head)   13.98


Resurrected yet again from out-of-print obscurity, this CD is a collection of songs from the original Unifying Themes disc (which was essentially a

combination of their early EP's, the John Birch Conspiracy Theory 7" and the Faction 7", plus compilation tracks, unreleased songs, their

bizarre, awesome covers of "O Fortuna" (which you might recognize as the theme from Conan The Barbarian) and B-52's "Rock Lobster", their songs from

the splits with Nineironspitfire and Murder City Devils, and an unlisted live radio show from 1996. Botch's weird, complex and massively heavy

metalcore was some of the most important heavy music made in the 90's, displaying even on this early material a twisted sense of complex time signatures and

controlled chaos, and these jams outline the evolution of this legendary Seattle band that would go on to record a career defining landmark with We Are

The Romans. One of the greatest bands to ever stride the realms of mathy, angular crush. Features beefed up package design.
