Biography

The Esoteric are a shining example of the determination, hard work ethic and do-it-yourself values so characteristic of their Midwestern roots. The Esoteric are musicians first and foremost; with members having performed in bands ranging from pioneers Coalesce, to super- all-stars Reggie And The Full Effect, -rockers Theta and even stalwarts Today Is The Day.

UPDATE: Thursday, June 11, 2009: FELLOW SLEEPWALKERS AND SUBVERTERS Q. Is The Esoteric back together again? A. Depends on how you look at it… we just played our first show in 2 years and have 2 more shows booked this month.

Q. Is The Esoteric writing a new record? A. Members of the band are always writing music, that’s just what we do. If we write something together and record it we will let you know a.s.a.p.

Q. What the hell have you dudes been up too the last few years? A. Marshall has been writing, recording, and touring with Black Light Burns and as well as with Sea Spin. Cory is with Shots Fired and the now defunct? Paper Cites. Stevie is with Hammerlord. Eric recorded the Hammerlord and Paper Cities at his EZ Rock Studios recording spots in the mid-west. Anthony is holding it down in the shire and will be rocking out with Dillinger 4 tonight instead of coming to practice. So there you have it. It is what it is and do what it do.

    I think that The Esoteric is better than most mainstream metal bands that you hear these days.

    Wow why so few people? I first found this band back in like 2005 at Warped Tour and got a signed copy of With the Sureness of Sleepwalking. Even though only 10 or 11 people were watching, they were the highlight of the concer that year for me. I was sure they would take off. Extremely dissappointed they never got more popular :/ They even had a great music video for Ram-Faced Boy that was on Fuse a lot... shame.

    does anyone know if they're still touring or even still a band?

    Do people tag bands like this mathcore because they can't tap out a 4/4 drumbeat if the drums don't hit in a regular pattern?

    Just read this on Marshall Kilpatric's Myspace Blog: "The Esoteric is also going to be gathering together and writing a NEW record as well. I am very excited for this. We never officially went away, so leaving the door open was a good thing. I cannot WAIT for that." He wrote that in September. Holy shit that just made my day :)

    I saw this band with the Agony Scene and Himsa. Himsa was awesome, as is to be expected, but the other two were friggin' terrible. Listen to Himsa instead.
