** UK ethereal metal innovators Esoterica return with “Burn”, a brooding and explosive new single that fuses high-stakes drama with soaring orchestral power. Channelling the dark allure of a Bond theme and the anthemic weight of Muse, Burn is a bold evolution of the band’s cinematic sound.
Once again recorded at Middle Farm Studios with collaborators Peter Miles and George Lever, Burn features a thunderous orchestration performed by the Parallax Orchestra, composed by Simon Dobson and Esoterica drummer Luke Keast. With sweeping strings, punishing guitars, and theatrical vocals, the track is both grandiose and emotionally raw.
"Burn is about the self-destructive nature of uncontrolled desire.” explains singer Tobias Keast. “The blurred lines between lust and control. The balance of power is shifted when the prey wants to be caught.”
Following the critically acclaimed singles “Firefly”, “Paper Skull” and “Into The Ether”, Burn continues Esoterica’s ascent into cinematic rock’s upper echelons, appealing to fans of acts like Muse, Karnivool, and Sleep Token.
Perfect for playlists spanning Cinematic Rock, Epic Metal, and Alternative Progressive, the release is supported by a full campaign including video content, press outreach, and targeted social media spend. **
