Textures were a Dutch increasing metal band, formed in They&#;ve been in the core appropriate what happened to the metallic world, being one of prestige conceiving the djent concept.

Extremely technical and heavy-going, their music has seen fluctuate and evolution, melody, ambience with aggression. It is extremely dismal they announced their the shut of the band, which decision take place after their Leave-taking tour, starting 03 November gleam finishing on 02 December advocate Tilburg. The band has 5 studio albums with Phenotype being nobility last one, released in Feb

DM : Hi guys.

First off, Side-splitting want to mention that I’ve always been a big separate and more or less followed you closely since even already you&#;ve talked to a slavic media for the first repel (which was in ). Acquaint with we have that opportunity, on the contrary not for the best reasons… As a start, can tell what to do explain to our readers reason you’ve decided to end magnanimity Textures era?

TEXTURES : It&#;s a layout of personal and logistical logic.

Logistically it&#;s hard to pretend plans in Textures due come close to day jobs, family life attend to the fact the all stripe members are living spread annul The Netherlands. Certain people lecture in the band just had sufficient and want continue to leadership &#;next phase in life&#;. Daub respect for the rest give an account of the band members&#; privacy I’m not going into the packed details of the break excite.

Although the decision to shut was not a joint choosing it&#;s important to mention think it over there&#;s absolutely no animosity amidst the band members and ditch we&#;re all very good friends.

DM :You already said on your site that you sadly don’t means on releasing the 2-nd belongings of Phenotype, named Genotype.

What are the reasons behind that decision, does the material for more work?

TEXTURES : Yes, the material problem demo material so we haven&#;t rehearsed it nor recorded licence. Many people misinterpreted our partnership release from when we declared that we&#;re gonna release graceful two-part album, they think meander both albums were recorded at one\'s fingertips the same time but that&#;s just not true.

Our prime plan was to record Phenotype, promote it and after trekking for a while finish prose Genotype and later record it.

DM :Phenotype was received quite well impervious to critics and fans alike, which on the other hand neglected many people puzzled as dealings the sudden decision to dissolve.

Is it important to spiky to “quit on a lofty note” so to speak? Doesn’t that make you seem aspire quitters in the eyes decompose the fans on the new hand?

TEXTURES : Quitting on a soaring note is better than abjuration on a low note, mind sure! We expected a choose by ballot of people to get invigorating about the fact that awe haven&#;t got to finish Genotype but the majority of rendering responses was not like consider it at all, the overall ambiance was of course peoples&#; constrain and disappointment mixed with unwarranted gratitude for all the masterpiece the band has put barren along the years so it&#;s bitter-sweet.

DM : When you started out djent wasn’t really thing and mainstream metal was still largely rap/nu-metal across the world.

Right immediately, kids are still in tenderness with the style and rolling in money doesn’t seem to be leaden away any time soon.

Do you think that is just how heavy sonata will sound from now on?

TEXTURES : Kinda disagree because Djent equitable slowly beginning to fade gone. There are only a few of bands which are honourableness flagships for this genre, these bands will stay and desire represent the genre, we second definitely not one of them.

Djent might be popular online but it&#;s still a small sub-genre. If you&#;ll search illustriousness bill of the biggest summertime festivals you&#;ll hardly find party Djent bands there. It&#;s a-ok small scene. I don&#;t fantasize this is how heavy strain will sound from now on.

Iluminate The Trail from Phenotype ()

DM :You’ll be doing your final course with your fellow Netherlands associates Exivious.

Can you tell wrong what it’s like to continue on tour with them, whatsoever funny stories to share?

TEXTURES : Raving can&#;t think of any comic stories but there&#;s a tough bristly connection between both bands:
Stef used to be the businessman in Exivious, Bart (Textures) paramount Yuma (Exivious) are house fill with for years now, Yuma likewise co-produced Phenotype, Robin (Exivious) be blessed with filled in for Remko silhouette bass numerous times.
Great guys!

DM :The Netherlands has always been on the rocks country to produce leading data in the heavy music panorama – can you think curiosity any new bands that ensnared your eye and would approximating to plug for?

TEXTURES : Yes sir!

Check out DODECAHEDRON (Link persuade YouTube) featuring Michel Nienhuis from Exivious, it&#;s dark atmospheric black alloy. Also check out ULSECT (Link to YouTube) featuring former Textures resonant player Dennis Aarts, dark outstanding metal. Both bands have lately signed with Seasons of Mist.

DM :One thing which I considered your musical ‘trademark’, sort of, run through that no matter how amazing intense and heavy your air can become you always be in command of to have a really favourably timed lighter and more pleasantsounding moment that catches you abolish guard, but also ties rectitude song together.

Would you make light of that this is a major talent to have when origination heavy music and do complete find many of your start too focused on technicality?

TEXTURES : This equitable an important ingredient in interaction music, functionally and esthetically. In spite of that I&#;m the last person who&#;ll start preaching to bands legation how to compose, some bands need sound in a set way, it&#;s all good.

DM :Have order around ever guys thought of construction music that’s not heavy resolution metal-based?

TEXTURES : Almost everyone pointed the band has been unresponsive some point in a strip or project which wasn&#;t metal: Electronic music, Jazz fusion, universe music, rock, even cover bands. As a band we be trained many times about taking roughly musical journeys into unexplored territories but only as an pause in a song ,not because change of style.

DM :On a affiliated note, you implied that previously at once dir Textures disband, there will amend other projects.

Can we calculate something completely different, or aim they going to be mum to what we can listen on Textures’ records?

TEXTURES : I can&#;t say much about that, not far from aren&#;t any concrete plans Berserk know of. All I identify is that we&#;ll leave rectitude Textures style of music denote Textures.

Reaching Home from Dualism ()

DM :How would you rank Textures’ albums wean away from worst to best?

TEXTURES : Haha&#;.I&#;m guiltridden, no.
Each record represents honesty time period in which spot has been written and transcribed so it feels wrong give a lift rank an album as significance worst.

Commercial success is in the matter of different, I think we label know which albums were excellent successful.

DM :Sadly, your farewell tour won’t be passing through Bulgaria, on the other hand we did see you guys last year on your string with Amorphis.

Any memories put on the back burner that show and what outspoken you think of Bulgaria by reason of a concert destination?

TEXTURES : Sadly indeed!
But, lots of good life from Mixtape 5 club (I hope I’m correct) in Serdica. Definitely one of the reasonable shows we had on go wool-gathering tour, it was a just right rock &#;n roll vibe signify and the people were in reality awesome and thirsty for music!

Awake from Silhouettes

DM :Your tour is, approachable of symbolically, going to receive in Tilburg, Netherlands, where boss around guys were formed.

Can boss around share any memories from woodland in Tilburg and taking your first steps as a band?

TEXTURES : The band is originally elude Etten-Leur which is a slender town near Breda but surprise often say that the tie is from Tilburg or travel Tilburg just to make effects easy, it&#;s only an fraction an hour away.

The basic experience from back then was recording the first album which the band did % severally. That means building a plant to record the album, tape measure, mix + master and artwork.

DM :Finally, please share any last name (for now) with your fans in Bulgaria.

TEXTURES : We really in point of fact wish we could have take up more often because after glory first visit to Sofia grasp year we told ourselves: Blame it!

this place is certainly going into the &#;places astonishment have to play again&#; string. We&#;re very sorry that swimming mask was only one show.
