Dutch progressive metal titans Textures has signed with the Kscope record label. Currently working on a new full length album, the single ‘Closer To The Unknown’ and its accompanying videooffers a glimpse into the bold, cinematic sound one can expect.
Speaking about the new single, the band said: “‘Closer To The Unknown’ is one of the most direct and hard-hitting tracks we’ve ever written – and also one of the most straightforward songs on our versatile album that we’re currently working on. It is showcasing one of the iconic new elements on this record: the prominent synths and sound design that really added to our new Textures sound.”

Known for their complex compositions, polyrhythmic precision, and melodic depth, Textures has long been hailed as pioneers of modern progressive metal. Since their acclaimed 2003 debut Polars, the band has consistently pushed genre boundaries, blending elements of metalcore, djent, and ambient soundscapes into a style uniquely their own.
With landmark albums such as Drawing Circles (2006), Silhouettes (2008), and Phenotype (2016), Textures built a devoted global fanbase and received critical praise for their technical brilliance and emotional intensity.
“It’s an honour for Textures to join the Kscope roster and be part of a long list of artists who inspired us and our genre,” the band said of their new record deal. “To us the label represents a certain kind of class… A certain brand representing authentic and eclectic music. We hope we can add our own Textures flavour to Kscope.”
