Botanist (band)

Botanist is an American black metal band based in San Francisco, originally formed as a one-man project by musician Otrebor, with later collaborations with other musicians. The band has been described as a "Guitarless, environmentally themed 'green metal' project utilizing hammered dulcimer, sung from the perspective of a reclusive, nature-loving misanthrope." Most of the band's lyrics are based on environmental themes and botanical processes, with a focus on climate change and destruction of the natural world.
