British funeral-doom band active since 1992, led in the reviews by frontman Greg Chandler. Known for very slow, massive riffs, long suite-like tracks and bleak, atmospheric compositions.

Reviews reference Season of Mist as a label for one release; multiple DeBaser reviews describe the band as British and as central to contemporary funeral doom. Greg Chandler is mentioned by reviewers as the band's leading figure.

Esoteric is presented across the reviews as a leading British funeral-doom band delivering extremely slow, heavy, claustrophobic albums mixing doom, death, gothic and ambient textures. Reviewers repeatedly highlight long suite-like tracks, crushing riffs, bleak atmospheres and demanding listens that reward perseverance. Several albums (Metamorphogenesis, The Pernicious Enigma, The Maniacal Vale, Paragon of Dissonance, Subconscious Dissolution...) are treated as high points of modern funeral doom.

For:Fans of funeral doom, doom metal, dark ambient and very slow, atmospheric heavy music.

 "Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum" is the arcane and claustrophobic representation of the unknown rendered in music.

 "The Pernicious Enigma" is the subconscious representation of the soul, the goal on which silence extends over the pavement, absorbing the arcane depth of every sound and noise.

 And here rises the wall of sound of "Dissident", a nearly provocative melody invades the listener, the growls and desperate cries of the singer strike without a moment's respite, Esoteric's music begins to suffocate you, to suck your soul, making it sterile to all possible emotions, there are no solos capable only for a few minutes to calm the tension.
