ESOTERIC med ny trommis

British doom metallers ESOTERIC welcome new drummer Joe Fletcher to the band. After 18 months, the guys have finally found someone suitably talented and disturbed to join them. ESOTERIC look forward to working with him both live and in the studio.

Alongside this comes the news that the band is looking for a third guitarist following the recent departure of Steve Peters. Please not that ESOTERIC is based in the Birmingham area of the West Midlands, UK, and that experience and dedication are essential. You can contact the band through www.myspace.com/esotericuk or greg@sinistrous.demon.co.uk

ESOTERIC have nearly completed writing and arranging their fifth album. So far there are over 100 minutes of material and the band hopes to enter the studio in the next month or two, so you can expect a possible double album for a late 2007 release.

Finally, ESOTERIC will be returning to the live stage after an 18 month absence. The shows are as follows:

• 20 Apr 07 Birmingham (UK) The Barfly ( + Anaal Nathrakh + Deadweight)
• 08 Jun 07 Luynes (FR) Le Korigan
• 09 Jun 07 Paris (FR) La Locomotive ( + Pantheist + Imindain + …)
