weird, I thought they broke up after the fire, theft of gear and bus crash.

now i'm not sure that all of that happened to them, but at least some of it.

they had their house/practice space burn down right before "with the sureness of sleepwalking" came out, but have been going strong despite this. They did several lengthy tours even after the fire for nearly a year.

great band, great dudes - shit luck.

eager to check these songs out when i get out of work

you won't be dissapointed....and agreed best of dudes

I donated to their paypal after the fire...toot toot...hey it's my own horn. I suck...but yeah, these guys are great.

hmm i thought these guys broke up after 2005's metal fest... i know they played it?
maybe thats winter solstice. good stuff either way

yeah that was prob. winter solstice....The Esoteric played in october at the Palladium with Meshuggah!! great night!

Critically-acclaimed sonic trailblazers THE ESOTERIC have posted new music online from their forthcoming opus Subverter and have announced dates for their headlining “Through the Looking Glass” tour.

THE ESOTERIC have posted three new tracks from their highly-anticipated new album Subverter online at the band’s Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/theesoteric). The tracks include the rocking “Destroy, She Said” as well as the titanic “Language Is a Virus / Shipyards of Foreign Cities” and the mind-bending “Clone Culture and the Cut-Up Method.” Produced and engineered by Paul Malinowski (Shiner, Open Hand, The Life And Times) along with Eric Graves, the genre-defying new album Subverter is the band’s sophomore effort for Prosthetic Records and is slated for an Oct 17 release date.

Additionally, THE ESOTERIC have announced dates for their headlining West Coast tour with art-rockers Mouth of the Architect. Sponsored by alt-lifestyle website GodsGirls.com and dubbed the “Through the Looking Glass Tour,” the run will be the first chance for fans to see the band’s stellar live performance featuring songs from the new album.
