Genotype

DUTCH PROGRESSIVE GIANTS TEXTURES ARRIVE ON KSCOPE WITH THEIR FIRST NEW ALBUM IN SIX YEARS - AVAILABLE ON DIGIPACK CD & LP . 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 & 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 & a powerful reaffirmation of everything that made them a force in the first place.

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 & 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 & those navigating internal worlds that often go unseen, standing as an ode to authenticity & resilience.

Featuring the singles "Closer To The Unknown", "At The Edge of Winter" (featuring Charlotte Wessels) & "Vanishing Twin", the record balances technical precision with powerful songwriting - the hallmarks that have made TEXTURES one of progressive metal's most respected names over their 20+ year career.

TEXTURES have built a passionate global following over this time. In India, they rose to headline festivals & perform for thousands of devoted fans. In Europe, they became a staple at major events such as Hellfest, Wacken Open Air, Grasspop Metal Meeting & Brutal Assault. Their electrifying performances cemented their reputation as one of progressive metal's most unmissable live acts - & now, they are set to reclaim that stage on the upcoming European Tour supporting Jinjer, that runs from January till March 2026.

With 'Genotype', TEXTURES join the ranks of the legendary progressive label Kscope, home to some of the most innovative & influential artists in modern progressive music such as TesseracT, The Pineapple Thief, Tangerine Dream & Gong.
