2009, Hydra Head Records
Originally recorded in 1998, this is Botch's debut full-length and first Hydra Head release. It features white-hot guitar action, scathing vocals, sweet bass moves, and torrential drums, smashing existing precepts of hardcore and redefining both the word and the music for a generation of matinee kids and grizzled vets alike. Here it is, a decade later, remixed, re-mastered, and reissued with five bonus tracks. 'One of the most revered hardcore bands of the last decade, Botch pioneered the math-metal school of rock with song structures so complex and musicianship so virtuosic the Seattle quartet might as well have played classical music' - Revolver
