The Awakening

"BEST UNSIGNED BAND 2020" Prog Magazine Reader‘s Poll, Prog UK #116

Esthesis is a progressive / alternative rock band, created and led by French multi-instrumentalist Aurélien Goude (keyboards, vocals, guitars and bass).

The current line up is composed of three other musicians : Baptiste Desmares (lead guitar), Marc Anguill (bass) and Florian Rodrigues (drums).

Esthesis music is characterized by many influences (70‘s british rock, film score, ambient, metal, pop...) and primarily based on emotion and ambiences. They released their first EP "Raising Hands" in January 2019. Their highly anticipated new album "The Awakening" is finaly available now.

The one-hour long album deals with the notion of identity (awakening, quest and loss of identity) and contains six new songs. "The Awakening" has been acclaimed by many rock webzines and magazines (Music Waves, Betreutes Proggen, Prog Wereld, MLWZ...), and Esthesis won the Prog Magazine Reader‘s Poll in December 2020 ("best unsigned band 2020").

…weitgehend ruhige Mixtur aus sphärischen, teilweise sehr floydig anmutenden Passagen, sowie einem modernen, teils etwas härteren Alternative / Progressive Rock Sound geprägt.

Deswegen werden bei den Vergleichen sehr gerne Bands wie z.B. Porcupine Tree (von denen man live auch z.B. ‚Signify‘ covert) oder Nosound aufgeführt.
