TEXTURES LIVE FOOTAGE — I IMPLORE YOU TO LOVE THIS BAND

I like to think that our incessant posts about little-known bands we find have some effect on gaining those bands a broader fan-base. Judging by the number of you who email us thanking us for introducing them to bands like Sikth, it seems like we’re at least doing something right. The latest Vince Neilstein circle jerk, also known as the Dutch prog-metal band Textures, finally appears to be getting some traction and well-deserved attention here in the U.S. This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

The progenitors of the blog Hipsters Out of Metal not only publicly thanked us for introducing them to Textures (“Metal Sucks’ tireless efforts forced me to love them”) but tipped us off to some recent live footage of the band we hadn’t seen yet. How’s that for reciprocity and blogger goodwill? Enjoy. God damn, this band is so fucking good.
