Textures - Awake

[dinia99]

This is so epic!!! I instantly became a fan

[gothicrain888]

Fuck you, this sounds nothing like Creed. At all, ever!

[goorguer]

I won't let!!!

I won't let!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOO

terrific...

[Jampper]

This song makes my nipples hard.

[vikykarthik]

i watched this video when it had only 1000 views imagine how i felt!

[AnDynessisity]

I absolutely LOVE this band!

[WishmasterTheDark]

Pop music in disguise.

[NitroCoasters]

@WishmasterTheDark No, music made by amazing musicians that just write what they feel like writing without caring about genres too much.

[WishmasterTheDark]

@NitroCoasters

So? What's problem if I call them pop? You said they don't give a fuck.

[ABFan010]

@WishmasterTheDark Yes because 2:07 is obviously POP music. Fuckin moron, piss off to another video if you don't like it.

[WishmasterTheDark]

@ABFan010

2:07 is pure gaycore.

I told you, this is pop music for emo fags, and other mallcore fags.

[ABFan010]

@WishmasterTheDark Its Progressive music you retard, not Screamo which sucks ass.

If you think screaming makes music emo then you need to go and jump off a bridge. And its not "core" in anyway, come back after you actually have some knowledge of music before you start having a argument you know nothing about.

[WishmasterTheDark]

@ABFan010

Ok, progressive popcore.

[ABFan010]

@WishmasterTheDark *Facepalm*

You don't even understand what Prog music is. Now be banished to Mordor TROLL!

[artcellrox]

@ABFan010 I see your name is ABFan...does the AB mean what I think it means? :3

[ABFan010]

@artcellrox Its not a metal band if that's what your implying :S

More of a good version of Creed......a really really good version hahaha

[artcellrox]

@ABFan010 I know it's not a metal band, but I also know that they're still fucking badass! <3

Check out the bass cover in my channel. You might like it. :3

And no, don't call them a "version" of Creed. They are more than that, and so much more different too.

[ABFan010]

@artcellrox Just checked out your Blackbird cover....very nice! XD

[NitroCoasters]

@WishmasterTheDark Okay, stop trolling in the first place. You may find this pop music, but this is ANYTHING but gay, or "simple to play". The polyrythms going on there are insane. It's like saying Meshuggah are screamo fags, like ... DUDE WTF?!

And I am right, and will not respond anymore because internet fights against trolls like you are useless. And I didn't say they write music "in disguise" right? I said that if they feel like writing pop, they do. But not in disguise ^^

[WishmasterTheDark]

@NitroCoasters

But Meshuggah is gay music for frustrated fags too.

Ahahaha you are a mallore kid! You just proved that.

[GodMadeMetal]

@WishmasterTheDark

Meshuggah and gay? meshuggah is the greatest prog band in ,,modern'' metalera, all these american djent/kiddycore bands are copyieng them

btw u listen to good power metal^^

[WishmasterTheDark]

@GodMadeMetal

I bet this comment about Power Metal was sarcastic.

[GodMadeMetal]

@WishmasterTheDark

No really i love power metal, nordic stuff espatially wintersun, everything from europe

[NitroCoasters]

@WishmasterTheDark XD I just prove what? That I like a kind of music that a lot of people apparantly hate? You call that frustrated? I call it frustrated that you stick to your mainstream metal like Gormathon, and targeting people that actually love what THEY want. Not what they were told to love by the media ;)

[WishmasterTheDark]

@NitroCoasters

No, almost every mallcore kid like you likes ANYTHING with growls, just because it's done with growls, because you think it's soo "Metal" if bands use growls, and horrible "W" drop tuned guitars.

[NitroCoasters]

@WishmasterTheDark Yes, that's why I love bands like Porcupine Tree more then Textures. That's a fact. I love Porcupine Tree more. Do they use growls? NO. Do they use seven strings guitars drop "W"? NO. And I love Textures too, yes. For the fact that they are all amazing musicians with amazing techniques. Not that they use growls and lower tuned guitars. Your turn, troll ;)

[StfiouS]

Everything about this song and video is beautiful

[TheAlliesCanHelp]

Found the band from a Sikth comment.. All I can say is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Check out ADRENALINE MOB. They completely decimate this "band."

[inimicalODDITY]

@MlKEPORNTOY Man, I just wasted my time and checked them out. They sound like fucking godsmack. Bloooooooows.

[OGShively]

@MlKEPORNTOY

Hey, I've seen your comments on a few videos, and have systematically checked out everything I've seen you recommend

You have shit taste. That is all.

[MrISAACFACE]

o.o

[o0ZporK0o]

hmm, just found this band, have only heard this song. So far, they kinda remind me of Creed, only better executed

[ZosoDelta]

@o0ZporK0o dude no...just no... You gotta listen to more than this song they are nothing like them. Sure they have some epic choruses in songs but the similarities end there but there's so much going on in their music it's difficult to even explain.

[XRockMusicChannelX]

i dont understand textures... they have so fucking good hardcore/metalcore/mathcore parts in their songs but the most stuff is... i dunno pussy stuff it still sounds good but if they just played core i think they would be better and probably more famous

[yetiraper]

@XRockMusicChannelX gtfo and go listen to your pig screams!

[XRockMusicChannelX]

@yetiraper hey thats not what i wanted to say i love textures i just said what i thought would be nicer

[ZosoDelta]

@XRockMusicChannelX Textures is not a Cannibal Corpse or a Hatebreed... They don't stick to one distinctive style that's why they're prog metal. Their music covers every emotion not just anger. Broaden your musical horizons.

[XRockMusicChannelX]

@ZosoDelta hey i know that ^^ i dont just listen to core i listen to disturbed korn devildriver and also billy talent offspring stuff like that ^^

[ZosoDelta]

@XRockMusicChannelX oh gosh really? I'm so sorry to hear that...

[XRockMusicChannelX]

@ZosoDelta what do YOU listen to?

[ZosoDelta]

@XRockMusicChannelX Jonas Bro's Selena Gomez ya know. Textures, Deftones, Cynic, anything Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Opeth, Dillinger Escape Plan, He is Legend, The Red Chord, Between the Buried if we're talking heavy stuff generally. I just can't listen to Korn and Disturbed and that stuff anymore once you've heard the best you just can't go back. I get why people listen to it though it's accessible, easy to digest, doesn't require much active listening, fun live, it's the fast food of metal.

[liveforspeedDARTZ]

etten-leur!!! blij dat ik daar woon zeg ! HAHA

[GTASmaxXx]

The Dog has a good Voice :D j/k great song!!! :)

[solist39]

Wat een gaaf nummer,en wat een gave video !!!!!!

[mainey1512]

first song i heard from them. awesome melody mathy drums and the synth makes it just perfect. definatly one of my favorite bands.

[BackboneOfTheSky]

What is this guy doing for those heavy vocals? Certainly not a fry scream, too powerful... right? Anyone?

[Bikerboi13]

LOVE the chord progression from 3:07-3:20.

[timchurch2390]

sounds like creed

[Bikerboi13]

@timchurch2390 nah man, it sounds like textures

[zachthecrack]

@timchurch2390 sounds like you need to go buy this album and let your head explode.

[timchurch2390]

@zachthecrack Why would I buy their record? I don't like this band at all. "Then why are you leaving stupid comments on their video?" Because I was looking for new bands and checked them out. And because its fucking youtube.

[Justerbuster89]

this doesn't sound like djent to me.....

[mmcg83]

@Justerbuster89 The beginning sounds very much like Devin Townsend.

[mdodorgx]

@mmcg83 Apparently i'm not the only one who thought that :P

[Sqvusz]

this reminds me of Into The Wild

[guysapire]

this song is addictive... 5th time listening to this today...

[grosgaia]

@guysapire I'm addicted to...

[chrlsnewsom5]

This video went viral on Dhaka



[2WinGs2]

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS VIDEO HAS ONLY 514.254 VIEWS. Seriously, people have no taste in music.

[TheForrbidenFruit]

@2WinGs2 people very much do have a taste in music, everyone does and clearly this music doesnt suit everyones taste which is why some videos have more views than others,because it fits their taste. they all have taste just not a very good one

[2WinGs2]

@TheForrbidenFruit That's right Apple!!

[inimicalODDITY]

@TheForrbidenFruit I think he was being sarcastic? Could be wrong though.

[ArchiveEverywhere]

@2WinGs2 Half a million views is a fair number for a non radio-friendly song.

[Sooooober]

@2WinGs2 You have no taste in music, this is what rape sounds like!

[shumped]

@2WinGs2 why do you care? just be glad you and everyone here has amazing music taste.

[brad0021]

@2WinGs2 I totally agree. Thank god people like us were born with sophisticated ears.

[pedrogas1]

Vagos Open Air is waiting for you

[organicate]

Well, hat was the first song I've heard by Textures. Not a bloody bad one to start with! On I go..

[benu571]

How could you not love this song??

[PunKarmus]

1:02... so much powah >:D

[ChainMeFree09]

this would be amazing in 1080p

[maxbrutal88]

Listened to this at least 50 times a day for nearly 2 weeks. Still amazing :D

[luke666808g]

@maxbrutal88 way to kill it bro, I limit myself to once a day if I ever find something I like.

[alexarw1]

Yeah the dutchies rock!

[maneyy]

I thought i had listened to it about 520k times, but 511 037 times is fine too.

[TheNeedled]

I can't stop listening to this great song, it's fifth time when i'm listening it today.

[maxbrutal88]

This is fantastic.

[KSICZEK2]

Love the vocals. Amazing.

[spajkkk]

His vocal reminds me of Devin Townsend :O

[PunKarmus]

I won't let, I won't let go.

[OnTheBlocksMedia]

This song has a great beginning. Very powerful.

[DanB3at]

It just doesn't get old listening to this song...the contrast of emotions this song transmits are too intense to be forgotten. Eric's voice is just something magical in this song. I miss this guy on the stages, but I really admire his choice to change his life. He's a graphic designer now. To think a guy with such a normal job was once a great lead vocalist. Best luck for you Eric :)

[MarcioRPinto]

Nice.

[dirtfrank]

Great song. Really nice build up to the explosion of awesome.

[6XMX9]

Nice song, band, video, really good live band!!

[Djobohobo]

DOGGIE!

[Dagobanger]

My favorite clip.

[MrOngor]

Epic Song.

[Keymaster1966]

Godverdomme wat is dit goed man. Ik ben dan wel een echte doorgewinterde 45 jaar oude Dreamtheater fan maar dit is nou bepaald ook niet echt kut. Fantastisch Nederlands product!

[khasimka]

very,very nice

[ConnerDrummer]

I like this song as it is. But I think Textures should come out with a version where he sings the whole thing rather than scream the last half. Just a thought. :)

[srojs1]

you know, the band is Dutch, when you're in Holland, and you'll ask anybody who looks alternative, the don't know the band :P i'm Dutch, and came to know them because some English guy pointed them out for me :P

[Simpleexitband]

@srojs1 bij mij omdat ze op DWDD waren

:P

[TheUnshatterd]

goed om te zien dat er nog mensen zijn in nederland met een goede muzieksmaak :D

[benu571]

@TheUnshatterd huh? haha

[MitchReitmanOnDrums]

One of the best singing melodies I have ever heard in my entire life.

[LukosMelanos]

Very good vid for a good song, even it's not my kind of metal ;-)

[Turboviiper]

Ik wist niet dat deze band nederlands is :O

[TheEmperor9985]

@Turboviiper

Inderdaad, kwam er ook achter dankzij DWDD. Hoop ontzettend dat ze ook hier doorbreken :) Their good.

[merdammuffita]

che meraviglia..

[MRjesseNL]

I dont want my tax money goes to this !

[titusbeertsen]

@MRjesseNL I don't want that you are speaking about this band on this way!

[srojs1]

@MRjesseNL the things i want to tell you: first of all: your tax does not go to them, they earn that much that they don't get money from the government any more.... second of all: if I read your line, I guess you're about 16, and that means you don't pay tax yet. and then, last but not least: if you don't like this music (I guess you don't, when you don't want to put your money in it), than don't listen to it!

[MrKylemcnally]

deftones sounding sing thing im in love fs this band kicks ass

[DaRkGliTcHerR]

awesome song \m/

[spjmasson]

cute dog

[Casiopeia2000]

He sounds like Phil Anselmo :)

[4CiD911]

That was fucking great :3

[omglykewurd]

This makes me want to jump off the cliff with him. Dreamy.

[suzuki15]

if u dislike ur a fa.got'

[ravoid36]

Come back to Bangalore.

[ravenfaust6669]

this reminds me too much of HIM

[nickRnun]

@ravenfaust6669 except this band has talent

[ZosoDelta]

@ravenfaust6669 Wow just....wow. I've heard lots of ways to describe Textures but never being compared to shitty gothic alt rock. There is literally almost zero comparison save for they both have guitars, bass, drums, and singing.

[elliott0]

@ravenfaust6669 are you watching the same video i just did.... the only thing that this band and HIM have in common are that maybe HIM did a video in black and white....

[samfulfordskates]

just a good example of how you make a simple non-cheesy music video.

[luke666808g]

@samfulfordskates I disagree, needs more explosions

[grosgaia]

@luke666808g :D

[summitthescale]

@samfulfordskates i'm 12 and i don't get it

[666spawnofsatan666]

this is such a good music video

[jkotheprodigy89]

singer looks a lot like Jesse Leach (former KsE singer)

[rot105and]

it was so epic to finally see this song live !

[Faggythefaggot]

38 people paid the ferryman

[dynmatos]

Everything about this song is perfect... I'll miss Erics voice till the day I die.

[FamousForNothings]

@dynmatos - agreed!

[ConnerDrummer]

Am I the only one who loves those fast motion cloud sequences? They're awesome.

[Katacklysm]

not as good as i remember but still a great song...

[SophomoricCult]

@Katacklysm first time I hear of this band, its great, i wonder how is it like before lol,.

[Katacklysm]

@SophomoricCult idk, my sister musta made tht comment lol

[ShortSonata94]

Incredibly reminiscent of Devin Townsend's Ocean Machine: Biomech

[grokone]

Only two days left until they'll hit Euroblast-Festival. Highlight of the year.

[bacon70722]

3:53 Holy shit it's Commander Shepard!

[WickedSteak]

This song, this album, this band. All amazing.

[Rockmetaltilltheend]

I just listen a few song from their latest album *__* . I think I just discovered my new favorite band . Everything that I like, melody mixed with crushing metal riffs : ).

[9VoltWolf]

Wrong person.. Whatever. Good song, though.

[filipeguitarrista83]

Why ruin with grunts a perfectly good song? It seems every new metal band has to have it, otherwise they're out of fashion...

[Danelawz]

@filipeguitarrista83

For me "grunts" expresses emotions. The line "Life's too short to be wrong" is so fucking good it gives me chills all over, the energy drives me crazy.

[filipeguitarrista83]

@Danelawz I feel that too sometimes, i just wish there was a new band that sang clean throughout. But even so they're really good in what they do.

[filipeguitarrista83]

@Danelawz Hm, i see that, i like grunts too. But about the lyric meaning, don't you think it's supposed to be "Life's too short to be right"? Do you think they think like that or that's just an expression of a disordered part of themselves or of the character of the song? (Yes, i like to go deep in analizing)

[Wattyb2]

@filipeguitarrista83

Do you not see the imagery present in the video?!

The river is supposed to be Styx, and the dog Cerberus. He's calming floating down the river (as would someone dying be walking down a tunnel towards the light) and then he meets Charon (the Ferryman) at which point his death dawns on him. He wants to live and is "fighting" by refusing to pay. Ergo, the screaming fits perfectly...

I used to think like you until I realized it can be used tastefully, as it is here.

[hltds]

i like this singer much more than the new one.

[MetalliDeth1223]

i was looking for cynic but this is damn good too.

[zbridgjpxupzm]

probably the best metal video I have ever seen!

[Malikarcanum]

Devin Townsend + Meshuggah = this

A damn good mix, I must say.

[pivotrocker8]

Nederlanders :D

[selfatrophy]

@pivotrocker8

FUCKING AYE!

Keep up the metal tradition, Nederlanders! Pestilence, etc.!

[monokulm]

Remember seeing them live in Tallinn, Estonia. What a great show! Hung out with the band later on and the guys were really mellow.

Textures, Estonia misses you!

[Danelawz]

The scream at 3:15 along with the guitarist headbanging is the highlight of this video for me.

[Agelesslink]

it was good until the gutteral screaming. i just cant get into the screaming in music these days

[Danelawz]

@Agelesslink

Shame you can't enjoy it. For it's a perfect song :)

[zbridgjpxupzm]

@Agelesslink yeah it was too much kinda ruined the whole mood

[zpattaman]

this is art! song and video!

[Arphanel]

@AllTheDelicateWays *Eargasm..

[MitchReitmanOnDrums]

Phenomenal.

Chills through my entire body.

[Thetallywhacker0]

This song got me from the first few seconds.

[hellhammermsa]

Been a Scar symmetry fan for awhile and dude, new band I'm really enjoying =)

[Popomans]

Saw them play this live tonight...Daniel did an awesome job.

[gangsterthomas1000]

so textures is dutch? :D

[Danelawz]

"The video has been made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Dutch TAX funds an incentive from the Dutch Government to assist Dutch artists with audio/visual output."

That's amazing!

[Omnislashlol]

Flag this. THIS MUST BE FLAGGED.

[windalooman]

This is music from heart.

[CarcassRot]

WE MISS KALSBEEK BRING HIM BACK!

[EduardvanBeinum]

@CarcassRot You mean YOU miss Kalsbeek... Daniel is an excellent replacement.

[CarcassRot]

@EduardvanBeinum

There is no substitute for the lord of vocal mastery.

[HunterofJustice]

I would make this my theme song!!!

[JProckmusic]

SO glad I doscovered them.

[SabuPtolemy]

Total Devin Townsend OCEAN MACHINE worship! Love it!

[suzuki15]

dissapointed to find their other songs weren't like this

[tehpeasant]

@suzuki15 Check their new single

[HunterofJustice]

@suzuki15 I have to agree with you there!!

They're either all left handed or the video's backwards?
