Tilburg, Netherlands (2001 – present)
A progressive metal sextet from Tilburg, Netherlands whose avant garde musical output is as brutal as it is diverse or experimental.
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.

Textures sounds nothing like Meshuggah... why do I always hear them being compared? There are 5823940234 other bands that have the same similarity to Meshuggah that Textures does.

@JordiBN if that`s correct its great. @BlackRoseBurial of course awake is important song to complete silhouettes, i like it when i listen the whole album trough, but as a song it`s nothing but growler, actually the amount of growlin is minium in that song:D. but seriously i think that the band will go more lame if they increase the amount of soft songs on next albums
