Originally released by Excursion Records in 2002, and re-released by Hydrahead in September 2006, Garden of Exile will be responsible for releasing this baby on a gatefold 2xLP! Unifying Themes Redux is the band's long out of print collection of early seven-inch material, compilation cuts and other rarities and provides an incisive look at the germination of Seattle's legendary ass-kickers. It features sixteen ferocious tracks that only Botch could deliver, complete with weird samples, post-modern anxiety, and unstoppable riffs.
Although Botch's two full-lengths and final EP feature their most progressive work, Unifying Themes Redux summarizes the creative path that led them to such stellar heights. It's a goldmine of Botch material, with compilation appearances, out-of-print EPs, unreleased tracks, and other collector gems. The John Birch Conspiracy 7" alone warrants the purchase, few acts could do justice to the theme from Conan the Barbarian. Botch is now widely regarded as having redefined hardcore in the mid to late 1990s. Few bands took as many chances and everyone from Norma Jean to Every Time I Die basically owes them a huge royalty check (or at least major props)
If hardcore giants of the time relied on static song structures and bloated breakdowns, Botch embraced off-kilter rhythms, mathy riffage, effects-laden tones and lyrical defiance. Embracing progress defines their oeuvre. These days, the former Botch players forge ahead in These Arms Are Snakes, Minus the Bear, and Roy. True to form, not one of them is treading old ground.
