TEXTURES Begins Recording New Album

January 27, 2011

Dutch progressive metallers TEXTURES have entered Split Second Sound studios in Amsterdam to begin recording their fourth album for a fall release via Nuclear Blast Records. The as-yet-untitled CD is being produced by TEXTURES guitar player Jochem Jacobs, who helmed all of the band's previous albums.

Commented Jochem: "It's all really exciting! This album is really going to express where and what we are these days....and that's a good thing.

"We've been through a lot lately, especially the last year. Now with some new air and fresh ideas, we finally reached the point that we are actually quite confident in the new material.

"Sometimes you just have to crawl through the mud first to get to dry grounds.

"We are in the middle of the preproduction now, getting our asses in gear...to create this baby. It's kinda cool to see this band grow more and more and to continue this musical journey that we've been on for 10 years!

"Let's make this thing heavy!!!"

TEXTURES last year announced the addition of keyboardist/samplist Uri Dijk to the group's ranks.

Keyboard player Richard Rietdijk left TEXTURES in April 2010 to pursue other interests.

TEXTURES made its first appearance with vocalist Daniel de Jongh (exCILICE) at the Fortarock festival in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

TEXTURES's last album, "Silhouettes", was released in North America on September 30, 2008 via Listenable/Koch. The CD entered the Dutch chart at position No. 100. This was the band's first chart showing ever.
