TEXTURES ANNOUNCES NEW FRONT MAN

March 25, 2010 | 12:59 | | 4 comments, | News

TEXTURES is excited to announce that Daniel de Jongh, former front man of the Dutch metal band CILICE, will replace Eric Kalsbeek who left the band earlier this year.

Daniel had to say this about joining TEXTURES:
“I am truly honored to have been asked to replace Eric as vocalist for TEXTURES. TEXTURES is a standout band and is a band which I’ve listened to the last couple of years, like so many other metal-fans out there. Although it was a pretty tough decision to leave my former band CILICE, this was an offer I just couldn’t refuse. The guys in TEXTURES are just a great bunch of people and it is clear that there is and will be loads of inspiration for the next years to come. I also know how much Eric was respected by the fans and I hope that I can assure you guys out there that I will replace him with as much dignity as he did for TEXTURES the last 6 years. All I can say is that we as TEXTURES are ready to rock everyone out there and that the anticipation for the next album can be withhold. We are in writing process at the time and I can reveal that it is going to be kick-ass as always!!

We will see you guys soon!!”

The band about Daniel joining TEXTURES:
“It was really hard for us to part ways with Eric. Emotionally and musically. But Daniel gives us more than enough reasons to prolong our career, more hyped up than ever before. His experience, personality, musical taste and of course his awesome vocal skills make us see the future like a first spring morning after a severe winter-darkness.”

Textures 2.0 has just been launched!

Daniel will make his live debut on a select number of shows this summer which will be announced soon.

    WTF. Ik ben zowel fan van Cilice als van Textures en dacht, “nou misschien is een combinatie wel goed, maar dit zal wel neit gebeuren…” Ik moet maar eens naar het Casino gaan, als ik zo goed kan gokken :D .

    Maar even serieus, ik ben benieuwd hoe dit gaat uitpakken en heb er alle vertrouwen in dat het wel eens heel erg vet gaat worden! Succes jongens!

    De enige waardige opvolger voor Eric, if you ask me!
    Kom maar op met die optredens!!! Dordrecht / Bibelot misschien eens?
    Misschien kunnen Eric en Daniel samen nog een nummer doen op het nieuwe album? :)

    Hey dudes, kmoet zeggen dat ik nog steeds van mening ben dat Eric uniek was in zijn doen maar ik heb Daniƫl laatst live gezien in Leiden (ja daar hebben jullie ooit nog ook gespeeld:P) en ik was erg onder de indruk. Textures 2.0 wordt verschrikkelijk awesome! zolang we Textures 1.0 nog maar in ons hart houden;)

    Hopelijk tot snel en maybe in Leiden;)

    Cheers Zeno
