BIO:
Death is an imminent force: it is an expression of the rhythm of nature having no purpose beyond its own perpetual regeneration. Brothers of the Sonic Cloth believe that dying is easy—it takes strength to breathe. Midway through 2007, after casting off many of the destructive forces inherent to the human condition, ‘Brother’ Tad Doyle (TAD, Hog Molly) decided it was time to pick up his guitar and once again play live music. Together with his fiancé, ‘Brother’ Peg Tully AKA Pegadeth (Noisegod, Inciting Riots) on bass and ‘Brother’ Aaron Edge (The Horde, Iamthethorn and Hellvetika) form the core unit of Brothers of the Sonic Cloth.
BOTSC established an alternating smoldering and roaring doom metal sound in their early recordings: Reemus Maximus, Snooch, and Wrecked Nation. In 2009, the first official BOTSC demo containing the tracks “La Mano Poderosa” and “I Am” were mixed at Studio Witch Ape in Seattle and made into a limited edition CD that sold all 50 copies almost overnight. The over twenty-minute-long two song demo reveals the Brothers’ supernatural ability to defy universal laws by showing that the question of time is irrelevant. As noted by www.Stonerrock.com: "The tunes here are given space to breathe and shift, growing unhurriedly, in the case of the first track, into a towering mountain of riffs. La Mano Poderosa’s opening guitar rides a ‘breaking storm’ sound effect into the first minute of the track, beginning a series of changes that cycle repeatedly back into the main theme/vocal part." The effect for the listener is one of physical time being suspended as the auditory experience appears to occur simultaneously in both a single moment and over several hours.
A split 10 inch on vinyl with Mico De Noche released on Violent Hippy Records has just been made available with the latest BOTSC outing entitled, “Fires Burn Dim in the Shadows of the Mountain”. This epic twelve minute work finds the Bros. bellowing forth enormous sound waves that move with all the intent and might of lava engulfing all in its path before drifting gently into a vast still ocean of powerful beauty. Beauty that pays homage to classic Floyd and Sabbath as well as echoing their contemporaries YOB, Neurosis and the Christpunchers, but with a signature sound all their own.
From the ashes of despair born of isolation, the Brothers of the Sonic Cloth now rise. Using thick, low-tuned guitar, distortion and feedback, they create music that establishes a connection between and among themselves and their audience. It is a power that lies both within them and beyond them that allows the music that they create to bind them like brothers to those who listen.

Who we are:
We have taken a vow of union with all that is to serve unity, brothers who have come to share love and passion of living and music and sound. We are small integrated parts of the whole of that which created us and we are of the universal mind and consciousness. We are among you now. We have been separate for far too long.
______________________________________________________________
What our mission is:
We come together for one purpose, to serve our creator through our music. We are story tellers of truth. We hope that you find your truth through music, books, unity, culture, and diversity. We hope that you will question everything and find your own truth in your own way.
______________________________________________________________
Why:
We have found our truths through sufferings of our own making. We have found that pain and suffering for us was self imposed. We have found that we need no longer suffer from our perceptions of what we think. We have found infinite bliss and peace in practicing not knowing what is.
______________________________________________________________
How:
Everything that we do is to be given back to that which created us.
______________________________________________________________
Where:
We are here with you now and you are never alone or separate.
______________________________________________________________
When:
Now.

hello. i received my copy of botsc/mico de noche today, and i must say it is quite sonically stimulating. ...although i fear that the facial disfigurement may be permanent....
Congrats on the new 10" single! Really dig the promo vid showcasing the baboons, but the soundtrack in the background foreshadows something even more feral and menacing. Bravo, bravado, desperado with a soft-skull, an avocado...Mace in a silver sidecar...trepanned he was, and cold sherbet he remembered in his nerves when he bit down hard on the rubber mouthguard.
