Botch is an American mathcore band from Seattle, Washington, formed in the mid-1990s, known for their complex time signatures, dissonant guitar work, and influential contributions to the mathcore and post-hardcore genres. The band gained critical acclaim for their studio albums, particularly "American Nervoso" and "We Are the Romans," which showcased their technical prowess and innovative approach to heavy music. Despite disbanding in 2002, Botch's legacy continues to influence countless progressive metal and mathcore bands, and their reunion performances have reaffirmed their status as pioneers of experimental heavy music.
