ESOTERICA Release Final Single ‘Alive’ Ahead of Album Ether Metal


London’s ethereal progressive hard-rock outfit ESOTERICA have unveiled their powerful new single Alive, the final release ahead of their forthcoming album Ether Metal, due September 19, 2025. The track arrives as the band prepares for their rapidly selling UK headline tour and follows years of critical acclaim, extensive festival appearances, arena support slots, and multiple national radio plays on stations including Kerrang!, BBC Radio 1, and BBC 6 Music. ESOTERICA has been streamed over 10 million times across YouTube and Spotify, solidifying their place among the most celebrated progressive hard-rock acts in the UK.

Alive is a deeply personal and cinematic track addressing the sudden loss of close friends, blending ethereal melodies, heavy progressive riffs, and emotionally charged vocals. The band’s signature combination of proggy intricacy and melodic depth shines through every moment, creating a track that resonates with both long-time fans and newcomers to their sound.

We describe Alive as a tribute and a triumph, pairing deeply moving lyrics with an epic 3D music video crafted over a year by acclaimed digital artist Ignis Santander. Featuring orchestral weight from Choir Noir and the Parallax Orchestra, the track reaches an explosive climax that elevates the band’s cinematic vision, while mixing by Luke Keast and engineering from their renowned production team ensures a polished and immersive listening experience.

Stream Alive now and experience ESOTERICA at their most intense and emotionally resonant. From London to audiences worldwide, the band continues to redefine progressive hard-rock, blending orchestral grandeur, technical skill, and heartfelt storytelling into an unforgettable musical journey.
