Textures - Genotype (Limited Edition Coke Bottle Green/Yellow Splatter Vinyl) LP

Textures - Genotype (Limited Edition Coke Bottle Green/Yellow Splatter Vinyl) LP

After six years of silence, Textures return with Genotype, a monumental comeback that reasserts their place at the forefront of modern progressive metal. Following their 2018 split, the band’s absence left a deep void in the scene they helped shape. Genotype is not a nostalgic revival, but a bold rebirth: written entirely from scratch, self-produced, and distilled to the very core of the band’s musical DNA.

Conceptually linked to 2016s Phenotype, Genotype stands as its counterpart rather than a sequel. The album explores identity, authenticity and resilience, giving voice to introverts, outsiders and those whose inner worlds often remain unseen. Across eight meticulously crafted tracks, Textures blend complex rhythmic structures, soaring atmospheres and emotional weight into a cohesive and deeply immersive listening experience.

Mixed by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus), the album balances technical precision with powerful, memorable songwriting, a signature that has defined Textures throughout their 20+ year career. Singles like “Closer To The Unknown”, “At The Edge Of Winter” (featuring Charlotte Wessels) and “Vanishing Twin” showcase the band’s ability to merge intensity with melody and emotional depth.

This Limited Edition Vinyl LP is pressed on striking Coke Bottle Green & Yellow Splatter Vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, making it an essential collector’s piece for progressive metal fans. With Genotype, Textures not only reclaim their legacy, they push it forward.
