Description
BOTCH WE ARE THE ROMANS Limited Edition 1 Orange + 1 Blue = 2xLP Brand New + Sealed
Details from the Hydra Head site:
We found about 450 empty jackets and inserts from the original pressing in our storage unit. We used the original plates to press vinyl for them. Available on Orange A/B + Blue C/D vinyl, and White/orange/blue haze A/B + Black/orange/blue C/D vinyl.Unless you’ve been living under a rock that’s underneath another even bigger rock in a cave in the middle of nowhere, you probably already know what’s up with this milestone/motherfucker of an album. Initially released in the year two grand, Botch’s final full-length was/is the kind of devastating metallic hardcore explosion that the term “metallic hardcore” could/can only aspire to. In fact, these dudes nailed it so hard that the bands that came afterward had to start calling themselves “metalcore” out of respect. And today, it’s actually even worse: Ever since Botch went belly up back in 2002, there’s been a steady, obnoxious stream of MTV2-jocking carpetbaggers that have ripped off our Sea-Tac boys (currently and formerly members of esteemed rock outfits like Minus The Bear, These Arms Are Snakes, Roy, Narrows and Russian Circles) riff for riff. We’d name names, but why mess around with pretenders to the throne when you’re already in bed with the kings? Its on 180g double vinyl for the first time since the album's initial release in y2k, and now also includes the totally sweet double-compact disc edition from 2007 featuring the original recording remastered plus bonus live tracks and the entire album in its hi-fidelity demo version. We Are The Romans is bigger, better, and more Roman than ever.
“Selling Points”: - This is it, the big one! Overstatement or hyperbole isn’t possible when describing how critical this full length was to the progress of metallic hardcore. Along with pretty much every band we have worked with in the past 10 years (you know what we are talking about... Cave In, Converge, Coalesce, Knut), Botch took hardcore to unexplored realms.
- Presented here in its original 2xLP packaging and pressed from the original vinyl plates, this repressing includes the 2007 remastered deluxe edition 2xCD as an added bonus. CD 1 features the remastered original record, while CD 2 contains several live tracks and nearly every track from Romans in their never-before-heard live-in-the-studio demo-form. The point we are trying to make is this thing is freakin’ awesome...
“Choice” Press Quotes: “Some of the most impressive heavy music from the past 10 years.... no one has come close to topping their dedication, adventurousness or personality. Botch were dead serious about one thing: fucking ruling.” - DECIBEL
“One of the most revered hardcore bands of the last decade, Botch pioneered the mathmetal school of rock with song structures so complex and musicianship so virtuosic the Seattle quartet might as well have played classical music.” - REVOLVER
“If you’re a fan of metal, hardcore or any of either category’s attendant subgenres and still aren’t worshiping the ground Botch stomped on, we don’t have any hope for you.” - ALTERNATIVE PRESS
