Album Review: Textures - Phenotype

Textures are dancing through subgenres, touching on serious sounding death and math-metal while also diving into colourful prog bridges.

Textures' sound is akin to Dillinger, Revocation and Devin Townsend — the drumming and guitar work woven technically into the composition, breaking ground on speed and intricacy. Each of those instruments keeps up with the other's idea, eliminating the sense of a leader and a follower. Phenotype's three longest tracks are its strongest, but with an exciting finale and interludes that actually add substance to the record there is a subtly vulnerable, wonderfully brutal and unpredictable record awaiting you.
