In celebration of their 20th anniversary, Esoteric teamed up with fellow doom bands Ahab and Ophis for the Doomwards Let Us Row tour. Disconsolate is one of the 7 songs of the highly praised 2-disc album Paragon of Dissonance, released in 2011. Recorded at Baroeg in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 8 June 2012. I've removed the first minute of the video in order to stay under 15 minutes. Esoteric formed in July 1992, after the gathering of five individuals, inspired to create dark, innovative music that was evocative to and expressive of the contents of their psyche. The lyrics and music are reflections and transpositions of their thoughts, philosophies, emotions and experiences. The music captures the essence of the word 'esoteric'.
