ESOTERIC Paragon Of Dissonance 2CD (2011)

Funeral doom doesn't ask for your attention. It takes it, slowly, like the tide pulling sand from under your feet. Birmingham's Esoteric have been doing this since 1992, and Paragon of Dissonance is the sound of a band who have mastered the art of making time feel geological.

Originally released in 2011 and remastered by Greg Chandler himself, this double CD is the definitive document of Esoteric's approach to death metal dragged into the abyss, psychedelic, suffocating, and genuinely unsettling in the best possible way. If you've ever wanted to feel the specific weight of existence pressing down on your chest for the better part of two hours, here's your record. This is not background music. This is a commitment.
