Is This the Weirdest Black Metal Band in the World Today?
Botanist, based out of San Francisco, is run by a weirdo name Roberto Martinelli (aka Otrebor), a guy who seems to be very bent out of shape by society’s destructive environmental path. He fantasizes that the plant world–sentient plants, kind of like Triffids, I guess–will rise up in revolt.
The focus of upcoming album VI: Flora is summarized thusly: ” the wondrous beauty of the plants themselves through a gauzy haze of dream-like sound with the voice of The Botanist acting as spectral underpinning to the reverie.”
Um, okay. Here’s a sample. And if you need more, go to Metal Injection.
