One Fine Day - Synapsis CD

Any admirer from Botch should check out this fine band from Italy that can be considered as one of the many little brothers Botch has spawned the last few years. Like it happens a lot with little brothers, they can not thread the same paths their bigger brother has ever taken, but by taking as leaps as big as they can One Fine Days just manages to come through with enough credibility to stand on their own. "Synopsis" is not as mathy as you wish, but certainly delivers heavy and dragging sludginess with bass-driven explosions that make you think about bands such as Fall Time, Knut or Amen Ra. I must attain a certain scepticism when I hear too obvious hints to "American nervoso" or "we are the romans", but actually I couldn't care less. Originality is not the main factor why you should start a band, but dedication and expression are. If you manage to blow out the eardrums from your listeners.well, that is always a plus. I warn people that are more critical than me, but overall this is pretty powerful (mashnote.net)
