The Esoteric is a hardcore/rock band founded in 1996 from Lawrence, Kansas. They are currently signed to Prosthetic Records. Following several self-produced EPs, the band's debut full-length, With the Sureness of Sleepwalking, came out on Prosthetic Records in 2005. Their follow-up, Subverter, released on Prosthetic in 2006 and received good reception from online blogs and music magazines.
The Kansas outfit is quick to point out and pay homage to their influences and support their fellow local bands. The band has toured with the likes Himsa, Mastadon, Dog Fashion Disco, Mindless Self-Indulgence, Scarlet, Calico System, and Fight Paris.
On January 1, 2007 the band announced the departures of guitarist Cory White and drummer Marshall Kilpatric. White left the band based on personal reasons while Kilpatric relocated to Los Angeles to join Black Light Burns. Former drummer Adam ‘Hammerlord’ Mitchell has retaken the throne at the drums. A new guitarist has yet to be named.
