ESA (Electronic Substance Abuse) aka Jaime Blacker from Dewsbury, UK

Member: Jamie Blacker
Location: Dewsbury, UK

ESA was born in 2002 in order to cross the threshold from one genre of extreme music to another. Engineer of this electronic inferno, Jamie Blacker, up until this point had been writing music semi-professionally for years in the UK Black / Death metal circle, touring and recording alongside some of the genres elite.

Having decided to experiment in dark electronics, ESA’s heavy, rhythmic style has since become rooted at the forefront of the harsh industrial / power electronics scene, predominantly owing to slews of powerful and engaging live shows all over the globe and 7 well received, critically acclaimed albums.

Taking influences initially from rhythmical noise acts, Blacker’s sound structures have developed and integrated countless influences from the broad spectrum of alternative and extreme music. The tone of ESA is harsh and oppressive, dripping with destructive and corroded grooves whilst still emanating deep melody and a strong sense of spirituality. ESA’s compositions are undoubtedly threatening and offensive floor stomping club tunes but also twist and churn enough to reward more attentive listening.

ESA is dissolving the borders within genres and making a claim of stylistic independence within the dark electronics scene.

Spit & Spite
by ESA vs Moaan Exis




In 2020, just before the first lockdown of Covid appeared on the horizon. ESA and Moaan Exis played a show together in Prague, Czech Republic.

That encounter resulted in a silent agreement that one day. We do this.

Fast forward 3.5 years and the schedules finally aligned enough to create something that we all felt deserved to actually live.

We wanted to make sure that whatever we put together felt like a 50/50 split. Like ESA ingested Moaan Exis or Moaan Exis injected ESA. We wanted to make sure that fans of both bands were able to feel exactly what a merging of these projects would sound like.

‘Spit & Spite’ is a double A-side of absolute power. ESA’s hooked up rolling rhythms combined with Moaan Exis’ punk like industrial energy. Moaan Exis’s snarling basslines combined with ESA’s pummelling percussion. It's all there and in its purest form.



We hope that mutual fans of both bands will enjoy the punk power industrial sparring match between Jamie (ESA) and Mathieu (Moaan Exis).
