Birmingham, United Kingdom (1992 – present)
There are several performers under name “Esoteric”:
1) A funeral doom/death metal band from United Kingdom
2) A disbanded Mexican death metal band, which released a demo in 1995
3) Emcee of the Boston hip-hop act 7L & Esoteric, MC Esoteric
4) new age artist of unknown origin, one album from 1991, titled “Enigma of Faith”
5) Dutch acid techno artist Curley’s alias.
About the doom metal act from Birmingham, UK:
ESOTERIC formed in July 1992, after the gathering of five individuals, inspired to create dark, innovative music that was evocative to and expressive of the contents of their psyche. The lyrics and music are reflections and transpositions of their thoughts, philosophies, emotions and experiences. The music captures the essence of the word esoteric.
1993 saw the release of “Esoteric Emotions - The Death of Ignorance” - a demo tape containing 82 minutes of hateful - drug influenced tortured doom with a total of 8 tracks. Almost immediately, this brought about an offer from Aesthetic Death to record a full length CD of new material.
In June 1994, ESOTERIC entered Rich Bitch studios in Birmingham to record 6 tracks (lasting almost 90 minutes). This recording was released as a double CD, titled “Epistemological Despondency”. Soon after the recording of this album, Stuart (guitar) and Darren (drums) parted company with the band leaving Greg (vocals), Bryan (bass), Simon and Gordon (guitars). In September of that year, Steve joined ESOTERIC to complete the guitar section. However, a suitable drummer was yet to be found.
