Critically-acclaimed Lawrence, Kansas-based innovators THE ESOTERIC have unveiled artwork for the band's forthcoming album 'Subverter' here (http://www.prostheticrecords.com/theesoteric/cover.html). Produced and engineered by Paul Malinowski (Shiner, Open Hand) along with guitarist Eric Graves, the genre-defying album ‘Subverter' is the band's sophomore effort for Prosthetic Records and is slated for an October 17, 2006 release date.

Several new songs from 'Subverter,' including "Destroy, She Said," the titanic "Shipyards of Foreign Cities," and "Clone Culture and the Cut-Up Method" are all available on the band's MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/theesoteric). Fresh off headlining the "Through the Looking Glass" tour alongside Mouth of The Architect, THE ESOTERIC have also begun finalizing fall touring plans alongside Dog Fashion Disco, including one date with Mindless Self Indulgence.
