NEW MUSIC FROM TEXTURES IS HEAVY, HEADY PROG-METAL

Netherlands-based prog-metal titans Textures are fucking fresh. Part Meshuggah, part Lamb of God, part Opeth, part Faith No More, and all awesome, this is the kind of hyper-aggressive, technical, mathy, heavy, heady and of course progressive metal that we jizz our pants over around here. At least I do… err, just did.
Lucky for you, VS Webzine has made the new track “Old Days Born Anew” from their upcoming album Silhouettes due April 21 (Listenable Records) available for free download. We’ve linked to the track below so you should be able to listen right here, but in case that doesn’t work for you Textures has the track up on their MySpace page too.
Textures – “Old Days Born Anew”

Wow!
Don’t forget part Dream Theatre… dundundun-dundundun-dundundun, doooleeedooo!
finally textures is getting the attention they deserve
I thought they had too many Meshuggah-esque moments – I mean, when they were really making a copy – in their previous album. yet they have great melodies and I found myself spinning the record more than I thought I would. be definitely checking them out.
I second Dr. T – Textures should have been recognized for what they are back when they released Polars in 2004. This band really grows on you. The clean vocal parts rock my world
Very good album, indeed.
