We Are The Romans Deluxe Edition 2xCD

CLICK HERE to order

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 tits up back in 2002, there's been a steady, obnoxious stream of MTV2-jocking carpetbaggers that have ripped off our Sea-Tac boys (currently members of esteemed rock outfits like Minus The Bear, These Arms Are Snakes and Roy) riff for riff. We'd name names, but why fuck around with pretenders to the throne when you're already in bed with the kings?

Re-released here in a totally sweet double-disc edition featuring the original recording 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. So man the goddamn ramparts already, 'cause it's time to burn this motherfucker down.
