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.
