Botch has unveiled plans for a new, super-duper version of their 2002 metallic hardcore classic, We Are the Romans. Due out September 11, 2007, the record has proved wildly influential on the modern “metalcore” CD, a fact not lost on the band’s label:

These dudes nailed it so hard that the bands that came afterward had to start calling themselves “metalcore” out of respect. And today, it’s actually even worse: Ever since Botch went tits up back in 2002, there’s been a steady, obnoxious stream of MTV2-jocking carpetbaggers that have ripped off our Sea-Tac boys riff for riff.

The record will be released as a deluxe, double CD with the original record, live tracks and the original demo versions of the songs.
