Following a headline slot at this year’s Hellfest and two club shows in June 2023, legendary Tacoma mathcore band, Botch, have decided to assemble one last European tour – their first since 2000. The reunited band recently saw reissues of the albums We Are the Romans, America Nervoso, and soon An Anthology of Dead Ends on vinyl. Head into the article below to find out more.

“Playing in Europe has always been a highlight for us,” says vocalist Dave Verellen. “Very stoked to have one last run over there.”
Originally recorded in 2002, An Anthology of Dead Ends serves as a swan song, sending off one of heavy music’s most inventive groups. Their monstrous concoction of metal, noise, indie rock guitar trickery, and depth is on full display. This is a last will and testament to the group’s drive and intent, cementing their legacy as one of the untouchable greats, already having influenced many a group.
An Anthology of Dead Ends is available digitally and will see its vinyl release on October 27th, 2023 via Sargent House.
