Anybody into this metal band? I realize there are many metal-haters on this board but there is nothing wrong with a band that does something they like really well. For me their album “Drawing Circles” is one of the best releases this year. It draws a very unlikely comparison for me - with Love And Rockets’ “Express”. Obviously the two bands sound nothing alike but both of them seem to first spend some time chugging along and then letting the keyboards sort of make the music ascend to the heavens. Textures actually sounds most similar to Meshuggah (all that polymetry and polyrhythyms) but they have a very appealing atospheric/symphonic side to their music too.
Sounds interesting…
I’m not a “metal hater”…just don’t like shitty music and for me a lot of what people identify as metal is cheesy and shitty. But that goes for any genre. There is awesome stuff in any genre, you just have to know where to look.
I love everything from harsh noise to classical.
What is a good album to check out for the band Textures ? Do they have vocals? If so what style? I hate that “metal growl”
Unfortunately they do have those metal growls, although the vocalist is quite talented and also sings somewhat operatically throughout the album.
