The first in a series of four new Botch titles set for release on Hydra Head in the next year, this reissue of the band's long out of print collection of early 7" material, compilation cuts, and other rarities provides an incisive look at the germination of Seattle's legendary ass-kickers. Originally released by Excursion Records in 2002, Unifying Themes Redux features sixteen ferocious tracks that only Botch could deliver-complete with weird samples, postmodern anxiety, and unstoppable riffs. All paths lead to Rome...



Heresi - Psalm II - Infusco Ignis - CD Pre-Order. During the next 2 weeks, we are offering a pre-order for "Psalm II - Infusco Ignis". You have the option of pre-ordering just the CD by itself, or the CD and a limited edition t-shirt. The t-shirt will be printed on black, Apparel Agent brand t-shirts with gold ink. After 2 weeks we will stop taking orders for the shirt, but you will still be able to pre-order the CD up until the release date. As usual this is a design that will not be reprinted.

After several years spent rotting in various Swedish mental institutions, the one-man black metal machine known as Heresi has emerged with yet another vicious black metal curse for mankind to suck on. The malicious handiwork of multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Skamfer (ex-Ondskapt), Psalm II: Infusco Ignis roils and blazes with the poison fury of a thousand heathen armies, screaming for arson, suicide, and an end that never comes. Originally unleashed upon Europe via Sweden’s Total Holocaust Records, Heresi’s second release features cover art courtesy of fellow isolationist Wrest (AKALeviathan) and lyrics written entirely in its creator’s native (and possibly forked) tongue. Plus, the riffs are fucking unstoppable. But why take our word for it? Skamfer himself sums up the general sentiment best: “It is always the right time to do lots of drugs and die.”
