Botch

With polyrhythmic guitar stylings, raw vocals, progressive song structures, and a unique sound, Botch were a driving force in the metalcore scene from 1993 until their break-up in 2002, particularly influential to the creation and rise of the mathcore subgenre. In May 1998, the four-piece from Tacoma, USA 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.
