Science was never one of my strongest classes in school. I was not an idiot, but I was not a star either. Like most people, different topics would catch my interest and I would excel, while others would leave me confused. One that was always on the cusp of confusion was genetics. I would always get terms like genotype and phenotype mixed up. These terms were obviously not a problem for the members of Dutch progressive metal band Textures. The band\u2019s latest musical offering(s) deals in exactly these genetic terms. \u201cPhenotype\u201d will be released on Nuclear Blast Records February 5, 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since their debut album \u201cPolars\u201d in 2003, Textures has slowly evolved album by album into one of the most credible bands in their genre. For me, musically they have always hit that sweet spot in between TesseracT and Xerath: not too smooth and not too epic and over the top. \u201cPhenotype\u201d is no exception, as it does a great job of swinging back and forth between the two extremes. Opening track \u2018Oceans Collide\u2019 harkens back into \u201cSilhouettes\u201d territory, coming out strong behind Daniel de Jongh\u2019s fierce vocals. This is not the only powerful track on the album, as \u2018Shaping a Single Grain of Sand\u2019 and \u2018Illuminate the Trail\u2019 take it to the next level. Filled with chunks of speed, thrash, and epic death metal, the blast beats of these songs still do not hold back the melody. Speaking of melody, \u2018New Horizons\u2019 may be one of Textures most radio friendly tracks yet, and I do not mean that in a bad way. It still packs a punch, but the melody is so infectious it could be a breakthrough track for them. \u201cPhenotype\u201d is cut in half by an interlude\/Stef Broks drum solo titled \u2018Meander.\u2019 This leads to the second half of the album, whose tracks feel oddly similar to the first four, only in different variations. \u2018Erosion,\u2019 one of the album\u2019s more straightforward tracks, it is full of chugging riffs and a sweet solo by newish guitarist Joe Tal. \u2018The Fourth Prime\u2019 bounces around in odd time before settling in with Daniel\u2019s vocals during the chorus. \u2018Zman\u2019 and \u2018Timeless\u2019 basically come together to form one song, the former showcasing the talents of less newish keyboardist Uri Dijk, leading into the epic, uplifting, melodic closer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Textures actually recorded two albums, \u201cGenotype\u201d and \u201cPhenotype.\u201d The reason for Textures interest in genetics translates into \u201cGenotype\u201d and \u201cPhenotype\u201d in this way; the band combined all of their musical influences and ideas together to create an example of what they thought were the member\u2019s collective musical traits. This resulted in a genotype (genetic code) which became the nine songs on \u201cPhenotype.\u201d This formula has yielded one of the band\u2019s best albums to date. The follow-up, \u201cGenotype,\u201d is a 45-minute long conceptual track that presents the root material of \u201cPhenotype\u201d in a totally different context. \u201cGenotype\u201d will be released about the same time next year. Until then, we have \u201cPhenotype\u201d to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n
