Tilburg, Netherlands (2001 – present)
Since their inception in 2001, Textures - Jochem Jacobs, guitarist Bart Hennephof, drummer Stef Broks, bassist Dennis Aarts and synth maestro Richard Rietdijk – decided the only way to capture the full momentum of their collective creativity was to be involved in every aspect of crafting their 2003 debut album “Polars”. From production right through to artwork, the bands meticulous endeavors explosively emerged as a melting pot of polyrhythmic attacks combined with soaring melody. A beast was born.
Heralded in the press in their native country Holland as well as overseas, “Polars” was also bestowed an Essent Award for ‘Most Promising Act’ in 2004. Hot on the heels of these accolades TEXTURES took their incendiary live spectacle on the road, racking up a huge array of shows next to inspiring performances at Fury Fest and Lowlands.
The next chapter, the next layer, if you will for TEXTURES was their sophomore album, 2006’s “Drawing Circles”. With new vocalist Eric Kalsbeek aboard once again band creativity dictated that the album was entirely self-produced, the result a jaw dropping body of work that saw the sextet still frothing with rabid ambition. Determined to push metal and hardcore to breaking point they experimented with bending and moulding the two genres into unexpected new shapes. Taking many a risk but never any prisoners TEXTURES hunger for diversity resulted in “Drawing Circles”, ten tracks which were unrestrained by boundaries, trends or conventions.

Nuclear blast doesn't have anything to do with Textures' production. Jochem has produced the 3 albums so far and it will go on that way.
