Textures - Genotype

When TEXTURES announced their disbandment in 2018, it marked the end of an era for progressive metal. Their absence was felt across the world - by fans, by peers & by a scene they helped define. Now, six years later, the Dutch innovators return with 'Genotype' - a monumental resurgence to the forefront of modern progressive music & a powerful reaffirmation of everything that made them a force in the first place.

Serving as the conceptual counterpart to 2016's acclaimed 'Phenotype', 'Genotype' is not a continuation but a rebirth. 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, written from scratch & self- produced. 'Genotype' distils the essence of TEXTURES' DNA into eight new songs, mixed by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus).

Lyrically, the album speaks to the unheard - introverts, outsiders & those navigating internal worlds that often go unseen, standing as an ode to authenticity & resilience.

Featuring the singles, "Closer To The Unknown", "At The Edge of Winter" (featuring Charlotte Wessels) & "Vanishing Twin", the record balances technical precision with powerful songwriting - the hallmarks that have made TEXTURES one of progressive metal's most respected names over their 20+ year career.
