Textures

TEXTURES already released two albums of unrivalled progressive metal before anyone even came up with the term ‘Djent metal’. From their debut album ‘Polars’ they have grown from using strong influences from their heroes of MESHUGGAH to developing their very own sound. Three more successful albums followed, awarding them with worldwide headlining tours from The Netherlands all the way to India. Their sound diverges from calculated chaos to progressive episodes and ambient intermezzos. In 2016 the new album ‘Phenotype’ is to be expected which is a double album with ‘Genotype’ to be released the year after. Only two club shows in their home country this February – don’t miss out!

Expect to be blown away at TivoliVredenburg!
