In June 1994, Esoteric entered Rich Bitch studios in Birmingham, UK to record six tracks to be released as a double CD, titled Epistemological Despondency. Soon after the recording of this album, Stuart (guitar) and Darren (drums) left the band, leaving Greg (vocals), Bryan (bass), Simon and Gordon (guitars). In September of that year, Steve joined the band to complete the guitar section, leaving only the drummer position vacant.[citation needed] See also: 1994 in music (UK) Musical groups established in 1994 Record labels established in 1994 // January 29 - The Supremes Mary Wilson is injured when her jeep hits a freeway median and flips over just outside of Los Angeles, California. ...

Having only played a handful of gigs in the UK, Esoteric travelled to Germany to play a series of shows. Half way through the tour, they were forced to turn back as an injury to one of the guitarists made it impossible to continue. In June 1995, the band was back on the road with a small tour of the UK. This tour was also cut short after only two shows when their equipment was destroyed by fire. Once the equipment was replaced, Esoteric began to prepare for the recording of their second release on Aesthetic Death Records.[2] Year 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full 1995 Gregorian calendar). ...
In 1996, Esoteric entered the studio once more to record The Pernicious Enigma - their second double-CD, consisting of 9 tracks. Although hailed by fans as somewhat more complex and dissonant than their first album, it maintained the band's familiar, highly atmospheric sound.[citation needed] Towards the end of 1997, one day before they were due to depart for a short tour of Germany, Simon (guitar) left the band without warning. Fortunately, Greg (vocals) was able to fill in at short notice. This has since become a permanent arrangement. Aside from the fact that Esoteric were now two members short (still surviving without a drummer), they managed to carry out a commercially successful tour.[citation needed] Year 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar). ...

Progress was becoming slow without a full line-up and with increasing work commitments, and the three tracks that were in development over a period of two years were recorded in order to make way for new material; without a permanent drummer, Esoteric was forced to use session drum-work, provided courtesy of Keith York. Eibon Records (Italy) offered to release these tracks which were recorded, engineered and produced without the aid of professional mixing and/or mastering technicians, and in 1999, Metamorphogenesis, was released.[3] Metamorphogenesis File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

In May of 2002, just one week before Esoteric were due to start recording their fourth album, Bryan (Bass) left the band leaving the three remaining members to record the album. This was done in intervals over a period of time spanning across the rest of the year and into 2003, using session work (as with their previous album) involving (Keith York - Drums and Trevor Lines - Bass). After negotiation with various labels, Esoteric signed with the French label Season of Mist.

Esoteric have completed their line-up with the recent addition of three new members during the summer of 2003, including Andy Semmens (drums) and Mark Bodossian (bass). In addition, Olivier Goyet joined the band to perform on the (keyboards), which allows them to better compose their material in a live environment, where the use of an extra instrument has become necessary to emulate the complexity of the studio recordings. Following this was a tour of Europe in April 2004, where the band played in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Belgium and the Netherlands, with bands such as While Heaven Wept, Indesinence, Officium Triste, Mourning Beloveth, Thee Plague of Gentlemen, Pantheist, and many others. In 2005, Semmens left the band. He was replaced in 2007 by Joe Fletcher.[citation needed] For other kinds of drums, see drum (disambiguation). ...
