Vagiant - Gospel According To Vagiant

Request from Domino Media.

Some more heaviness from Russia.

Vagiant play a wild mix of hardcore and noise rock using the
template of awkward sounding chords so beloved of Sonic Youth.

Among all the chaotic riffing sit some very melodic chorus refrains
which give a coherent balance to the almost math time signatures.

The frenetic yelping is helped out with the touch of female backing
vocals but at the heart of everything is a healthy dose of distortion
and frenzy. This is good shit - shame it's only an EP because
I would of liked to hear more of this. I highly recommend that you
give this a Listen

Botch - 061502 (2006)

This is a recording of the last ever Botch

gig - it came out as a DVD/CD set and this

is the CD part of that.

The bands that emerged from the ashes

were: These Arms Are Snakes, Minus the

Bear, Narrows and Russian Circles, which

give you an idea of how influential Botch

became.

With hardcore heaviness, they tore apart

song structures and time signatures and

are certainly to be credited with turning

people onto math-rock with lashings 0f

thoughtful metal.

But beating at the heart of this wonderful,

twisted monster was hardcore/ punk +

whatever "post" prefix you wish to attach.

This boasts a "best of set list" and the live

recording is pretty good.
