Esoteric Announce North American Tour

Esoteric move at their own punishing pace. The band climbed out of the post-industrial wreckage of metropolitan England back in the early ’90s, when the underground was hell-bent on death-defying speed. That these Birmingham Britons bucked that trend by hitting the brakes ran circles around some slower-witted metalheads. But while ahead of the curve, they’re now rightfully regarded as one of the heaviest — and headiest — hitters in funeral doom.

Today, Esoteric are announcing their first North American tour in more than 10 years. This marks just the second time that they’ve toured North America. The band will creep through the Midwest before trudging across Canada. They’ll then seep down the East Coast before heaving the full bore of their cosmic weight onstage at Maryland Death Fest.

Vacant Eyes will join for the first leg of this tour, followed by Chthe’ilist for the second. Spectral Voice will also appear on select dates, including MDF.

“We are really looking forward to crushing stages across North America with these three incredible bands”, says Esoteric’s long-time vocalist and guitarist Greg Chandler.
