Starting out as wannabe hardcore kids from\u003cbr\u003eTacoma, Washington, over the course of eight years they\u003cbr\u003emorphed into one of the most iconic and influential bands of\u003cbr\u003etheir generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter breaking up, the members wound up in so many\u003cbr\u003erenowned projects (Russian Circles, Minus the Bear, These\u003cbr\u003eArms are Snakes, Narrows) that some may argue Botch's\u003cbr\u003emathrock\/ noisecore was just a stepping stone, part of their\u003cbr\u003eevolution. But no one in attendance can deny feeling a void\u003cbr\u003eopen when the stage lights went up at Seattle's Showbox on\u003cbr\u003eJune 15th, 2002.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing primarily on material from their two critically\u003cbr\u003eadmired full-lengths, the quartet played to a sold out\u003cbr\u003eaudience, fans flying in from around the world to hear the\u003cbr\u003egoodbye. And in just a little over an hour, Botch showed\u003cbr\u003eeveryone what they'd been building up to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band had no interest in going out with some pristine,\u003cbr\u003epolished relic. This isn't a studio-quality recording with\u003cbr\u003eapplause thrown in. It's a barely contained maelstrom, the\u003cbr\u003eband wrecking their instruments and assailing the audience.\u003cbr\u003eIt captures, as best as it can, what it felt like to be\u003cbr\u003ethere: the deranged, macerating guitar work of Dave Knudson\u003cbr\u003eskittering over Brian Cook's obscene bass tone; Tim Latona's\u003cbr\u003ealgebraic rhythms hammering behind the screams of Dave\u003cbr\u003eVerellen; the crowd, as one body, mournfully singing “It's\u003cbr\u003eso quiet here” before the mayhem begins again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt seems as if every band is doing a reunion nowadays,\u003cbr\u003eand many are clamoring for Botch to finally join the crowd.\u003cbr\u003eBut whether or not that happens, this one night was\u003cbr\u003esuccessfully captured, where four friends walked on stage\u003cbr\u003etogether and played as though it would never happen again.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row mt-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-4 small\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47531137269978,"sku":"BOTCH-061502","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/image_7fb67e26-e346-4e3c-80a9-72dcdce3cad0.jpg?v=1769204818","url":"https:\/\/metaledgemag.com\/products\/botch-061502-lp","provider":"Metal Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
