Ever wondered what would happen if a metalband hit a major talkshow? It isn’t something new in the US. But a metalband on primetime televisionshow in The Netherlands? That never happened yet. Until last Friday.
Textures (the best Dutch metalband?) were asked to play De Wereld Draait Door (The World Keeps On Turning), the major Dutch talk show. They could only perform one minute, because DWDD don’t want a complete song in the middle of their show. Fortunately, they didn’t play ‘Reaching Home‘ (their softest song) to please the audience. As Textures said on a radioshow earlier that day: “They want Textures, and we think this piece of music is really cool. [...] They gave an advice to play this one song in particular. But we had already prepared another song [to fit in one minute]” The song in question is ‘Consonant Hemispheres’.

If you missed it (or if you’re not from Holland and didn’t see it at all), you can watch the perfomance during the show and the complete song before the show below. They’re probably the best Dutch liveband around at the moment. So make sure to catch one of their liveshows!

[UPDATE:]
RT @grauenhaft: @IncubateBlog t.co/Caj4OnAo In 2002 ook al eens metal in talkshow in NL :-)
