ALBUM OF THE MONTH
AARDSCHOK (NL)
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, and 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 and a powerful reaffirmation of everything that made them a force in the first place.
TEXTURES – Genotype
Void – 3:49
At The Edge Of Winter – 6:42
Measuring The Heavens – 6:51
Nautical Dusk – 5:35
Vanishing Twin – 5:49
Closer To The Unknown – 4:08
A Seat For The Like-Minded – 5:01
Walls of the Soul – 7:52
Genotype will be released on 26th January on coke bottle green splatter vinyl LP, blue marble vinyl LP, CD and digitally.
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 and 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, and those navigating internal worlds that often go unseen, standing as an ode to authenticity and resilience.

DUTCH PROGRESSIVE GIANTS TEXTURES SIGN TO KSCOPE
NEWS COMES ALONGSIDE NEW SINGLE + VISUALISER FOR “CLOSER TO THE UNKNOWN”
Lyric video production by Remko Tielemans
Kscope are excited to announce the signing of Dutch progressive metal titans Textures. “It's an honour for Textures to join the Kscope roster and be part of a long list of artists who inspired us and our genre,” the band stated. “To us the label represents a certain kind of class...a certain brand representing authentic and eclectic music. We hope we can add our own Textures flavour to Kscope.”
Their new single “Closer to the Unknown” and the accompanying visualiser offer a glimpse into the band’s bold, cinematic sound, as they prepare for their debut full-length release on Kscope.
Speaking about the new single, the band shared “‘Closer To The Unknown’ is one of the most direct and hard-hitting tracks we've ever written - and also one of the most straightforward songs on our versatile album that we’re currently working on. It is showcasing one of the iconic new elements on this record: the prominent synths and sound design that really added to our new TEXTURES sound.”
With landmark albums such as Drawing Circles (2006), Silhouettes (2008), and Phenotype (2016), Textures built a devoted global fanbase and received critical praise for their technical brilliance and emotional intensity.
Known for their complex compositions, polyrhythmic precision, and melodic depth, Textures have long been hailed as pioneers of modern progressive metal. Since their acclaimed 2003 debut Polars, the band has consistently pushed genre boundaries, blending elements of metalcore, djent, and ambient soundscapes into a style uniquely their own.

September 12, 2025 - Mumbai - Nesco Center – India
September 13, 2025 - Bengaluru - The Lalit Ashok – India
Textures’ debut Kscope album is currently in the works with news on the way soon.
