Textures Singer Quits 2010-01-22 by zuzek | 16 Comments | Eric Kalsbeek, singer for Dutch progressive metal five-piece Textures, has left the band with immediate effect.
Kalsbeek explained his departure in a statement issued by the band: "I decided to quit Textures. My life changed, priorities shifted. I can’t cope with the heavy touring and the time investment anymore. I need to focus on my job and family. I need to take a few steps back.
"I’ve had six beautiful years with the band, did loads of amazing shows, made tons of new friends and created some mind-blowing music. I’m going to miss the guys, and of course you, the fans. I know Textures will continue to conquer the world and give you all great, heavy and awesome music. I wish my successor all the best.
"I will keep on making music, but something totally different, much more low-profile. Maybe we will meet again. Eric out"
Textures are currently auditioning new singers and plan to announce a replacement within the next few months. Due to Kalsbeek's departure, the release date for the follow up of 2008's Silhouettes has been pushed back to the beginning of 2011.
