Textures share new song, album details

2016-01-30 by Kars Landman | 21 Comments
Dutch technical metal band Textures find themselves in the glory of their past with their new song 'Shaping a Single Grain of Salt'. The song is very technical and has very intricate drum parts, just like on the band's first records. It's off their upcoming album 'Phenotype', which will be out on February 5th via Nuclear Blast Records. The band is planning to release the second part of the double album a short time after that, Which will be called 'Genotype', and will be released a year later.

Watch the video here:



'Illuminate the Trail' has also been released:



A drum-playthrough of the song as well:



And a keyboard + guitar playthrough of 'New Horizons' was also released:

God I love this band. They manage to take the good elements of "djent" (god I hate that term) without sacrificing songwriting. I would just call them tech metal but those first two minutes of polyrhythmic chugging do really fall under the "djent" category, just without the cheese factor.

Really love the obvious Mike Patton worship in the vocals.

I'm sure I'll get some hate for this...but Reaching Home is by far their best song. Granted it's not anything like what they're known for and perhaps was a result of label pressure...but god damn what a beautifully crafted metal/pop/whatever song.

Can respect this song as clearly having been crafted and not sounding just like any other piece of shit. It holds my attention for that reason, but I just can't get into it, or it seems like hardly anything labeled 'technical.' 'djent' as well just really tends to bother me. good breakdown considering, but there just isn't anything to capture me about it. Seems like technicality always sacrifices the emotional vitality of the product in my opinion. But who knows, maybe another few months into my guitar career I'll get a taste for it. The vocals though too are a bit bland to me. Seems like its focusing so hard on not being called generic that I just would never feel like singing this song unless I was just trying to hear my own voice and not be embarrassed about it.
