Esoteric - Announce New Album
UK doomsters Esoteric have unveiled the cover artwork and track list of their new album, A Pyrrhic Existence. The record is set for worldwide release on November 8th, via Season of Mist. The long-awaited follow up to 2011's Paragon Of Dissonance was recorded earlier this year at vocalist/guitarist Greg Chandler's Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham.
Regarding the new record, the band comments: "A Pyrrhic Existence is an album that deals with some of the darkest sides of the human psyche and the harsh realities of existence. The concepts of the lyrics deal with death, suffering, tragedy, lies and the breakdown of the human psyche. The title is a reference as to how existence can be perceived as something that inflicts so much devastation on the survivor, that it becomes tantamount to defeat. The music is a progression from previous albums, and is of an extremely psychedelic and experimental nature. It can be likened to a vicarious journey through the twisted passages of the broken mind."

Good news, and glad to see the white skeleton spectre guys from Ved Buens Ende are still finding work.

Written by nikarg on 02.08.2019 at 01:45 You're welcome, surprised I got to it first seeing as it had been posted for about 45 minutes (which is an age considering how rabid MS people are about Esoteric).

Written by Mercurial on 02.08.2019 at 01:34 No joke when I saw this I thought "huh these figures look a bit awkward, reminds me of that Ved Buens Ende record but I could never say it because I'd get lynched again"

Written by Desha on 02.08.2019 at 14:54 Yeah their slightly camp poses made me think it too. Still a decent artwork though, although maybe not very "Esoteric."
