Dutch poly-rhythmic metal maniacs Textures will release the first of their upcoming two albums, Phenotype, on February 5th via Nuclear Blast. The second record of the musical diptych, Genotype, will be released one year later. Today, the band present the first part of a track-by-track series in support of Phenotype. Check out the video below:

The band recently released another song from the forthcoming record. “Illuminate The Trail” is streaming below:

The band previously released a playthrough video of the first single from Phenotype, entitled “New Horizons”. The sextet offer modern metal at its finest and have done so for over a decade now. No fashionable compromises, no 'fast food music'. “New Horizons” stands for the last five years the band has faced and above all the future of Textures. It’s an honest, catchy and boisterous metal track longing to be played at steaming festival grounds.

Check out the lyric video for ”New Horizons" below:

The new virtuosos Uri Dijk (synth) and Joe Tal (guitar) deliver a new, harmonic vibe to the mature Textures sound. Genotype, which will be released a year later - is a 45-minute long conceptual track. The root material, Phenotype consists of, is presented in this song, but in a totally different context. Textures go out-of-the-box. More proggy, more atmosphere and lots of extra layers to fill the last gaps left in this extensive, double rollercoaster ride.

In support of Phenotype, Textures will hit the European stages in February 2016.
