Cult exhalted US hardcore group Botch - American Nervoso to receive deluxe reissue treatment, pre-order open now

After the reissue of Unifying Themes Redux (which featured a bevy of early, rare, and unreleased material) comes the re-release of Botch's first absolute milestone. Rife with totally singular rhythms and guitar work, it's the sort of musical leap forward that a soul expected from the hardcore scene at the time. Recorded in March 1998 at Stone Gossard's Studio Litho in Seattle, American Nervoso was Botch's full-length debut and first release on Hydra Head (ISIS' Aaron Turner/Pelican/Converge) American Nervoso was a catalyst for the genre's evolution; a funeral rite for mindless floor-punching and youth-crew Hitlerism. Here it is, nearly a decade later—remixed, re-mastered and reissued with five bonus tracks to serve as a reminder for where present standards conceived their constitution. If you were out of diapers when this album came out, you know your face melted when you heard the first three chords.

The reissue includes five bonus tracks in addition to the original set:

1.Hutton's Great Heat Engine
2.John Woo
3.Dali's Praying Mantis
4.Dead for a Minute
5.Oma
6.Thank God For Worker Bees
7.Rejection Spoken Softly
8.Spitting Black
9.Hives
Bonus Tracks:
10.Stupid Me
11.Spitting Black (Extended Version)
12.Hutton's Great Heat Engine (Demo)
13.Rejection Spoken Softly (Demo)
14.John Woo (Demo)

The CD is up for pre-order at Bluecollardistro, along with a (very limited print) resurrected classic Botch shirt.
