DVD recordings With their sophomore album to be released in Spring 2006, Textures came up with the idea to make a short DVD-documentary.
And what better way to start off with shooting some live material? So, everybody who wants to come and join a good metal party: get your ass to the W2 in Den Bosch, Netherlands on Saturday the 17th of September! Textures will do a full set including some brand new material. And don\'t be afraid to spit your aggression straight into the camera.
French mini-tour Because of the kick-ass responses Textures received in the past, they are happy to announce a couple of new shows in France. On September 30, 2005 the visit Kao\'s Core 4 in Niort, on October 1, they play at the Soiree Metal in Quimperlé and the next day Textures does a show in l\'Esplanade in Bolbec.
Textures to appear in Nokia commercial Have you heard of the new Nokia Silence Booth? It\'s a soundproof booth to call your lover/friends/parents privately while positioned in noisy environments like festivals and concerts. Multimedia-company Alpha 69 invited Textures, on behalf of Nokia, to appear in their new Silence Booth tv-commercial. There was no script, they were just expected to kick ass and try and break the glass. Just crank up the volume! Keep an eye out for it on your music channels.
Studio report Last but not least: after more than two months of toiling and drudging… Textures have finished the studio. With reference to the typical Textures do-it-yourself method, they built a studio for their second album. This time it is a permanent one! So, luckily, they can skip the cleaning-up part this time. Within weeks Textures will start recording new songs, set for release in Spring 2006.
