Few dare to test the boundaries, to step outside the accepted norm and take their own road like Lawrence, KS-based heavy music innovators THE ESOTERIC. THE ESOTERIC are a shining example of the determination, hard work ethic and do-it-yourself values so characteristic of their Midwestern roots, using those traits to turn tragedy into opportunity and setbacks into starting blocks.

In February of 2005, THE ESOTERIC's home burned to the ground, leaving the band with nothing on the very morning the master CD of their debut album for Prosthetic Records, "With the Sureness of Sleepwalking," arrived in the mail. Fitting almost, as the band embarked on what would be a non-stop whirlwind touring schedule in support of "Sleepwalking" just a week later with friends NODES OF RANVIER, followed by tours with THE ACACIA STRAIN, SINCE THE FLOOD, LOVEHATEHERO and SECRET LIVES.

April 2005 then saw the US release of "Sleepwalking" and the acclaimed "Ram-Faced Boy" music video. Directed by Matt Bass (Linkin Park, Anton Corbijn, Rasputina) for Factory Features, the video garnered immediate attention at both MTV2 and FUSE, setting the stage for an appearance at the NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL, a summer tour with labelmates HIMSA as well as a leg on Vans' WARPED TOUR 2005.

The band continued to stay on the road through the fall and into winter with such diverse acts as EVERY TIME I DIE, HIGH ON FIRE, THE RED CHORD, FROM AUTUMN TO ASHES, BOYSETSFIRE, BIOLOGY and BEAR VS SHARK before taking a small break to shoot their second video. 2006 brings the release of the band's second single and video (for "Your New Burden") directed again by Matt Bass and the Factory Features crew as well as a massive 50 date US coheadlining tour with SCARLET, CALICO SYSTEM and FIGHT PARIS.

With a genre-defying stab at modern conventions, THE ESOTERIC provide a feral glimpse into the future of music and bring the attack on the modern state of rock music with their unique grasp of songcraft and a live performance that MUST be seen.

You guys will be making more albums, right? I haven't seen you play since With The Sureness of Sleepwalking, twice, in Sacramento, CA (Orangevale/Boardwalk). Amazing shows. When I get a chance I'd really like to drive (or otherwise) to Lawrence and see if I could get you (all) to sign my WtSoS poster (although it got a little raggedy on the way home that night). Seriously, I've been to a decent number of concerts and you are still in probably my top 2 bands live (the other being Every Time I Die, who put on a great show even if I don't care for every song of theirs) [actually, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Thrice were also pretty awesome but I'm getting off topic]. Well, enough with the flattery, but seriously... Please continue making albums. Hail Eris! Hah =)
