ESA (Electronic Substance Abuse) is Jamie Blacker!
ESA was born at the beginning in 2002 in order to cross the threshold from one form of independent extreme music to another. Jamie Blacker up until this point had been writing music semi-professionally for years in various Black and Death Metal bands, working alongside and touring with acts throughout the UK.
Having decided to experiment in Dark Electronica in order to experience a different genre. ESA began to gain European and US notoriety for powerful live shows complete with live guitars, live beats and various surprise guest vocalist appearances. Coupled with a venomous and violent debut album 'Devotion Discipline and Denial' on premier American label 'Hive Records', slowly ESA had begun to claim it's own territory...
ESA's sound is always a hard one to pin down. Taking influences initially from predominantly European Rhythmical noise acts, the overall structures have developed and integrated countless influences from the broad spectrum of alternative and extreme music. The tone of ESA is harsh and oppressive, dripping with destructive and corroded grooves whilst still emanating sub conscious melodies and a strong sense of Spirituality. ESA's compositions are undoubtedly threatening and offensive floor stomping club tunes but also twist and churn enough to warrant more attentive listening.
Sorry mate, we couldn't make it, it was a bit too short notice for us to jump in a train that didn't cost a fortune... Hope you had a blast and burned the whole place!!! ;p
