We already knew that mathcore legends Botch signed to Sargent House with plans to reissue their catalog on vinyl this year, but what we did NOT know, is that one of those reissues would come with the first new Botch song in over 20 years! Their second and final album, 1999's massively influential We Are The Romans, gets its 2XLP and CD reissue on November 4 via Sargent House, and it comes with "One Twenty Two," an entirely new song written and recorded in the past couple years. Guitarist David Knudson (also of the now-defunct Minus the Bear) says:

During Covid, I was writing my debut solo LP, and mentally, I was sick of everything in quarantine. Lots of frustration had set in at home, and I figured the best way to deal with it was to write something heavy. I had no intention of writing anything for Botch, but when I was thinking of a singer to collaborate with, I thought, “Hey, I know the best hardcore singer ever to do it,” so I hit up Dave V. He was super excited and so it just kind of snowballed from there. There was never any intent or conversation about getting back together or writing. It just happened so naturally and was a great release for all of us to make it happen without any of the traditional pressure an “active” band faces.
