Get ready to become sick of me waxing ecstatic about Textures, the amazing, awesome, incredible progressive metal outfit from The Netherlands. We didn’t lead you astray with At All Cost, right? When we splooged our pants (albeit a year late) over Sikth, you guys liked, right? And when we jumped on the Protest The Hero bandwagon — nay, built the bandwagon — ya’ll thanked us. So, with that in mind…
Guys…. TEXTURES.
This is the kind of music that just creates that awesome feeling inside of me that only music can, gets me psyched about life, and actually gives me hope that this world isn’t totally fucked beyond belief (that, and I just had some very strong coffee). This is kind of musical talent is few and far between.
Go listen to the new album, Silhouettes, in its entirety on Textures’ MySpace page. NOW. If you have any interest in Meshuggah, Faith No More, and good metal, it will be worth your time.
Silhouettes drops April 21 on Listenable Records.

Dude this album is immense. Got the leak the other day
Cheers for introducing me to these
Thanks for posting… this is a pretty intense disc, it sounds like. I was planning on buying about 14 copies of Arsis’s “We Are The Nightmare” next week, but maybe I’ll make it 13 and then pick up Textures at the end of the month.
Yeah it leaked a little while ago. I already got a huge rash on my crotch from masturbating too hard.
Every once in a GREAT while comes out an album where I like every single song. I wonder what’s going to be next?
The band veers perilously close to Meshuggah at times but then they throw some SYL into the mix for maybe some identity of their own. Not super-original, but they rock hard. Definitely looking forward to this.
[...] If you want a serious metal band that is pushing the boundaries of brutality/melody/songwriting, you know where to look. [...]
Wow………yeah, this is good.
