TEXTURES: Video Footage From India Posted Online

Dutch progressive metallers TEXTURES have posted their latest podcast featuring footage from the band's co-headlining appearance with AMON AMARTH at the Deccan Rock Festival at the Palace Ground in Bangalore, India on December 5, 2009. Watch the clip below.

Singer Eric Kalsbeek recently left TEXTURES. He said in a statement, "My life changed, priorities shifted. I can't cope with the heavy touring and the time investment anymore. I need to focus on my job and family. I need to take a few steps back.

"I've had six beautiful years with the band, did loads of amazing shows, made tons of new friends and created some mind-blowing music.

"I'm going to miss the guys, and, of course you, the fans. I know TEXTURES will continue to conquer the world and give you all great, heavy and awesome music. I wish my successor all the best.

"I will keep on making music, but something totally different, much more low-profile.

"Maybe we will meet again."

The remaining members of TEXTURES are currently auditioning a possible replacement singer and hope to reveal his identity in the coming months.

Due to Eric's departure, TEXTURES' follow-up to 2008's "Silhouettes" will not surface before early 2011 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The vinyl version of "Silhouettes", the latest album from TEXTURES, was released in November 2008 through Garden of Exile Records. The LP was limited to 500 copies and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. The artwork was printed on extra-thick cardboard gatefold jacket with golden foil print.

"Silhouettes" was released in North America on September 30, 2008 via Listenable/Koch.

The album entered the Dutch chart at position No. 100. This was the band's first chart showing ever.

"Silhouettes" was recorded at Split Second Sound with Jochem Jacobs in the producer's chair. Jacobs previously oversaw the recording process for TEXTURES' last CD, "Drawing Circles".
