TEXTURES CONQUER THEIR AQUAPHOBIA IN NEW VIDEO

Textures have released a breathtaking (metal!) new video for “Awake,” from their breathtaking (yeah!) new album Silhouettes, likely to rank in both mine and Kip’s year-end Top Ten. As MS Maniac Scott R. says about the video, “unless you have an irrational fear of water, its pretty damn good.” According to a press release,  the band was able to make the video exactly as they wanted without budget restriction, “thanks to a generous grant from the Dutch TAX funds – an incentive from the Dutch Government to assist up-and-coming Dutch artists with audio/visual output.” How come the American government doesn’t donate money for awesome metal videos like this one? Come on Messiah Obama, make it happen!

Will someone get this fucking band on the road in the U.S. Already so Kip and I can satiate our raging hard-ons?
