Esthesis is a French post-progressive and alternative rock project.

 

Formed and led by Aurélien Goude (music & lyrics, keyboards, vocals), the line up also includes Arnaud Nicolau (drums), Marc Anguill (bass guitar), Rémi Geyer (lead guitar) and Mathilde Collet (backing vocals).

 

Between cinematic atmospheres, art rock experiments and sharp riffs, Esthesis' music invites the listener on a melancholic journey through airy and powerful ambiences, with industrial and progressive touches. The band already released 2 full-length albums (Watching Worlds Collide and The Awakening), both available on beautifully crafted editions on French independent label Misty Tones. Esthesis has been acclaimed by many rock magazines, and was awarded “Album of the Year” by some of them (Album Rock, Music Waves).

 

During their latest tour (2022-2024), Esthesis played notably at the Poppodium Boerderij as a headliner (with John Mitchell on support), at the Night Of The Prog Festival (Loreley) opening for Soen and Leprous, and at Motocultor Festival with Crippled Black Phoenix and Opeth. The band will perform at Queyrock Festival in August 2025.

 

Their new single, “The Frame”, is now available everywhere with a brand new music video. A new album, “Out of Step”, will be released on 3rd October 2025, still on Misty Tones.
