Esoteric in Prague

Esoteric are a British funeral doom metal band formed in Birmingham in 1992. Led by founding guitarist and vocalist Greg Chandler, the group is known for long compositions, dense guitar layers, psychedelic effects and harsh vocals. Its key albums include Epistemological Despondency, The Pernicious Enigma, The Maniacal Vale and A Pyrrhic Existence. Esoteric became a more active concert band in the 2000s and went on to tour European clubs and specialist metal events. Their extended compositions are performed by a full band, preserving the layered guitars and extreme vocals central to the recordings. Festival appearances have included Roadburn in Tilburg and Brutal Assault in Jaroměř.
