Oh, what an impressive beast this LAVOTCHKIN is! Or ‘was’, I should rather write… After seven years, diverse releases and extensive touring, the boys from Northern England have decided to put the band to rest. Fueled with the energy of CONVERGE, the chaos of BOTCH and the dirge of CURSED, these guys definitely have been one of the better European hardcore bands of recent times. Thanks to an impressive presence on stage and relentless touring they had earned a reputation as a must-see live act, due to their dedication and heartiness they stood out in a scene swamped by pretenders and fashionists. Awesome band. Will be missed.
