some absolutely wild reunions lately. track beats ass, album will follow suit

edit: no new album aw

what a banger

Fuck yeah

i called it, track is great

very hyped for the album

yes it is somewhat of a what

I will wait patiently for the album (that I hope will eventually come to fruition)

I thought maybe one day we’d get a few reunion shows, but never new music. Today is a good day.

damn what the hell, this is another one of those "band that was asleep for 40 years releases new music and it's surprisingly not dogshit"
Whatever their new material will be i'm patiently waiting for it.

okay so apparently this will be on the watr reissue

sad

dope track though

Song rips, now they just need to announce some tour dates!

wtf

lets friggin go dude

so uh I never listened to Botch before but this track goes HARD
"that part at 40 seconds in is so rad" [2]

I’m surprised it’s just part of the reissue

Dave sounds fuckin ferocious on this. Guitar riffs are cool. Is this the first botch song ever in 4/4 the whole way through?

looks like they didn't botch this one, eh lads?

shut up

Immense and fun

Yeah I was gonna say from a mathy perspective this was pretty tame for them but several parts throughout are sick. Fun track

2022 has been kind to us

Well blow me down.

The more I listen to this the more I like it

they announced on twitter that this song is one-off and they're no plans to do anything w/the band again in the future

This is dope.

No album, no shows. . . . . that's disappointing lol

so this is a new new song?
like, it was written and recorded recently, not just some old unreleased track or something
I see it is just being included on a new edition of Romans, but plz give me a little sliver of hope for a new album some time in the future 🙏

and it goes without saying the tune slaps because Botch rule and have a certified impeccable discog

y’all want too much just moments after you’ve been given a piece

give it time

Gluttony is a thing

"One Twenty Two” is a bit of a fluke. Originally written by @davidknudson for his solo album, it eventually morphed into a @botch_band song as former bandmates were brought on board to add their distinctive flair to the piece. No… we’re not back together. No… there isn’t more material in the pipeline. This was just a random thing that happened over COVID and we decided to share it with the world as part of the upcoming reissue of We Are The Romans on @sargenthouse." - Brian

bro of course, called it

these skronks are makin me thirsty

that answer is enough for me. closure is cool. a nice little cherry on top of the Botch cake

Fuck that is so unbearably LAME-ASS

vinyl is selling out, boys

I won’t buy it just because they did this. They knew it’d be a cocktease, or else they’d have announced their intentions within the press release.

Never have I been so disappointed.

cool track. these dudes came close to reuniting for a one-off show here in Seattle about 10 years ago but it fell through... since then I'm convinced they're never coming back.

if they really wanted to they would’ve reformed before forming families

gg if you took this personally

Yeah lame I could have lived without this track now lol

So they released one random song for the hell of it? Alright haha

bruh y’all are the same kind of fans that wouldn’t get inside the shows

I’m not being ungrateful the song just isn’t that special so I could have lived without it. I’d be fine if they never gave us anything new their existing material is fine by me

Call Sargent house and tell them to take down the song since nash1311 says he could live without it

Just offering my unsolicited feelings and opinions you can put away your pitchforks now 🙃

Although being an ungrateful 🦡 sounds kinda cool

yea if only badgers had a positive connotation to play-on-words

good song

Yeah it’s a good song, I’m happy to be able to hear it.

But they clearly didn’t do it for the “fans,” they did it for publicity on this Romans reissue. I had to read a comment on here to find out it’s just a one-off. Just…kinda shitty.

Slapper

Nah They did it for themselves as a group of old friends. Even if they hadn’t recorded it, the reissued vinyl still would sell like hotcakes

The record would’ve been repressed anyway. All Hydra Head records are receiving that treatment. It was a matter of time. To say they’re doing it for publicity is in bad faith and shows you ain’t keeping up with anything.

it's almost as if a lot of bands write music for themselves because they like doing it wow

I mean if they just wanna drop a song out of the blue every so often without officially reuniting fair dos

fuckin Amen there

he said it all so gracefully too

fuck the gluttons. you get what you get.

Love Brian

God this slaps hard

Wow. I can’t believe how good this is. Unmistakably Botch, and yet updated for the times. It would be a damn shame if we didn’t get anything more after this

A one-off but one we should all be happy about.

why is it whenever I get into a long-dormant band they end up putting something new out a couple years later lmao. happened with Botch, happened with Dr. Acula, next thing you know No Knife are gonna drop something.

Song slaps, however, I was wondering if we'll have to wait another decade in order to get a chance of getting a brand new copy of We Are The Romans.

Makes me feel better about it reading Brian’s explanation. I’ve been having a bad day anyway, should’ve been more grateful. :/

Its fine to wish there was more lol, i do. Feeling entitled to it, like the band owes it to you or something, is another story.

i mean its really nice to hear new stuff but this was honestly just ok for me

BLACK WIDOW

Dave V sounds somehow even nastier on this than he did 20 years ago and Dave K is still one of the most underrated guitarists of the 21st century.

Never really listened to Botch, but this song rips hard. Need an album follow-up!

Hardest [2] ever

Song is awesome! Was hoping this meant a new album and tour tbh but I'll take what I can get and am stoked to get just the one off

"Dave V sounds somehow even nastier on this than he did 20 years ago"

Sucks that the song is so short, but only because it's nasty as fuck.
Great track.

Lmao

I think they've secretly got a triple album tucked away that they will bless us with next month m/

Vinyls have just reupped 2x1000

Holy shit! No idea this was happening... NICE. Sad that it's not an album and tours, but still cool.

$50 after shipping. Hmmmm

NEW BOTCH!? Hype.

Song is meh though IMO.

NEW BOTCH!! my sexlife amirite haha

Just gonna say it - I think people are only loving this so much because Botch is such a legendary band. If any other modern metalcore band put this out, no one would bat an eye.

Nah this is a banger. I wish the drumming was a bit more interesting but I love the guitar and bass work

"Just gonna say it - I think people are only loving this so much because Botch is such a legendary band. If any other modern metalcore band put this out, no one would bat an eye."

Nah, its great songwriting, dont be dumb.

Even if this wasn't botch it'd still be a pretty good song regardless. Metalcore has been a little played out in recent years and not as bursting with ideas as it was when botch was prominent. I'm not saying ONLY botch could've made this but its good for what it is. An extra treat they've thrown us.

"Just gonna say it - I think people are only loving this so much because Botch is such a legendary band. If any other modern metalcore band put this out, no one would bat an eye"
A good take right here!

on repeated listens, this just gets more and more samey

Yeah it’s really pretty basic and I agree if this wasn’t Botch people would shit on it. Like a solid 3/5

Because it’s Botch they absolutely do get a free pass to put out something basic lol people just want new material. It’s not trash it’s just OK but people are stoked cause it’s them

Nah, no free passes.

Is this part of some re-release of Romans or a new project? Excited either way, goes hard.

Wtf is a free pass. Artists can make what they want

I mean, you have to release a new album. The band had a big gap of no no music that it would just be pointless to have one song and nothing else. American Football atleast did something for the people, and I believe that Botch will too.

"Free pass" dafuq?

Y'all remember that movie called Hall Pass where dudes wife gives him permission to fuck some other lady so he can get it out of his system or something like that

Song is pretty good. Nothing crazy. It's good.

Hope we see a full length

I’m just happy to hear Dave verellen sounding like an absolute monster in 2022

i understand u fear

and yeah would be nice to hear more from dave, hopefully narrows do something soon. been ages since their last lp

Honestly thought this was a b-side unreleased from Romans

Not sure why people think it's so watered down it sounds like it fits right in on that even down to the production and vocals

Which is to say really fucking great
