Dutch Progressive Metal quintet Textures have announced that they will release their new album, “Genotype,” via Kscope on January 23, 2025. The band have also unveiled the official video for their new single, “At The Edge Of Winter” featuring Charlotte Wessels.
Watch the video for “At The Edge Of Winter” via the YouTube player below:
“Gentpotype” will be the band’s sixth studio album, and their first for a decade. The album acts as a conceptual counterpart to 2016’s acclaimed “Phenotype.” Just over a year after that album’s release in February 2016, and having already announced “Genotype,” the band announced that they would be splitting up and “Genotype” would not be released after all, performing their final shows in India in December 2017. Textures announced they’d reformed at the end of 2023.
“At The Edge Of Winter” sees former Delain singer and now solo artist in her own right, Charlotte Wessels, performing with the band. Meanwhile, “Genotype” itself, mixed by Forrester Savell, has been completely written from scratch and self-produced.
“Genotype” will be available on coke bottle green splatter vinyl and white and blue marble vinyl, with a gatefold sleeve with a printed lyric insert, on classic black vinly, with printed insert and as a digipak CD.
