When Dutch math metal pioneers TEXTURES disbanded in 2018, they left a void in the progressive metal community worldwide. Six years later, the band has risen once again, announcing both a long-awaited new album coming through Kscope Records, and a return to the stage with an extensive European tour.
Their upcoming record, “Genotype”, serves as the conceptual counterpart to 2016’s acclaimed “Phenotype”. For nearly a decade, fans speculated about its existence, but what arrives now is not a relic of unfinished ideas - it’s something entirely new.
With “Genotype”, TEXTURES don’t just return - they evolved. The band that once helped shape the sound of modern progressive metal now presents their most
vital statement yet: A powerful testament to those who live unheard.
