For nearly thirty years ESOTERIC have been pushing the limits of sonic intensity.

Late 2019 sees the release of their most accomplished work to date, ‘A Pyrrhic Existence’. It is 98 minuts of new material, detailed and layered compositions and a high level of musicianship, foreboding production, and equal measures of utter darkness and melodic diversity.

Double CD
ESOTERIC trace their underground roots back to 1992. The Birmingham, UK-based outfit have been pushing the limits of sonic intensity for more than 20 years. From the mind-bending darkness of their 90’s double albums ‘Epistemological Despondency’ and the ‘Pernicious Enigma’, to the expansive epic doom found on their new album ‘Paragon of Dissonance’, ESOTERIC have never compromised their initial aim – to drown unsuspecting listeners in an oppresive ocean of distortion.
Swirling colours, deep drones and psychedelic moments: ESOTERIC will touch your mind, alter your state of consciousness and make you aware of the esoteric essence of space and time. When this English band formed in July 1992 as a gathering of five individuals, they were inspired to create dark, innovative music that was evocative to and expressive of the contents of their psyche. Their lyrics, music and sounds are reflections and transpositions of their thoughts, philosophies, emotions and experiences. Their music captures the essence and true meaning behind the word 'esoteric'. With this long awaited new double CD, “The Maniacal Vale”, the collective further expands on their slow psychedelic journey into crushing atmospheres. Bow your heads to this masterpiece of extreme doom.
