UNIFYING THEMES REDUX is a compilation of demo recordings and songs taken from 7"es and compilation albums. BOTCH was a great mathcore band that existed until 2002, and was a clear influence to later bands such as Norma Jean. Originally the album was released on CD in 1997 on the Excursion label under the name The Unifying Themes of Sex, Death and Religion, compiling tracks from the Faction and the John Birch Conspiracy Theory EP's, but in 2002 bonus tracks were added and it was reissued on the same label with a new name: Unifying Themes Redux. In that form, Hydra Head re-released it in 2006 on CD and the awesome Garden Of Exile label did the vinyl edition a year later. So this version is like a reissue of a reissue. They did two pressings and the copy i have is from the second pressing (450 in total, of which 200 on grey vinyl). Brutal stuff. Especially their version of B-52's Rock Lobster (C3) is something worth checking out.
