Tacoma, Seattle WA, United States (1993 – 2002)
With polyrhythmic guitar stylings, raw vocals, progressive song structures, and a unique sound, Botch were prominent in the underground hardcore scene from 1993 until 2002.
In May 1998, the four-piece from Tacoma, Washington released their first album, American Nervoso.
On November 30, 1999, Hydra Head released Botch’s We Are the Romans. Since its initial release, bands have been influenced by its style, creating, to many, what is now called mathcore.
Recently, Hydra Head Records has released Unifying Themes Redux, an anthology of EPs and compilation tracks as well as a few unreleased tracks and a live set that was originally released by Excursion Records. In addition to this, on December 5 Hydra Head released 061502, a CD/DVD of Botch’s final show.
American Nervoso was remastered and re-released in July 2007. The new version included four demo tracks and an extended version of Spitting Black. In September 2007 Hydra Head released a deluxe edition of We Are the Romans featuring two discs; the first being the actual album, and the second filled with seven demos from the album and four live tracks.
Since their break-up in 2002, members have gone on to take part in bands such as Minus the Bear, These Arms Are Snakes, Roy, and Russian Circles. After a long hiatus, singer Dave Verellen has recently returned to the scene with Narrows.

They're one of the very few bands whose quiet parts sound just as convincing as their extremely heavy parts. Just listen to the transition from Afgamistam to Micaragua. Blows me away every time.

Afghamistam is an incredible song. It really shows how diverse Botch could be, and how that even though they made a song completely out of character, it could still be just as good as the rest of their material.
