30-10-2007 New album update & more
Here's an update covering what's happening in the Textures camp while we are preparing to hit the studio in December to record our new album. More news on this in the coming weeks.
Vocalist Eric Kalsbeek recorded the vocals for a new 'The Ocean' song titled "Legion of Winged Octopi" which will be on their new album 'Precambrian' which will see its release on Metal blade on the 5th of November. You can already check it out on their Myspace.
