DUTCH PROGRESSIVE GIANTS TEXTURES SHARE NEW SINGLE ‘VANISHING TWIN’
THIRD SINGLE TO BE TAKEN FROM THE NEW ALBUM GENOTYPE (23rd JANUARY 2026, KSCOPE)
Ahead of the release of their highly anticipated new album Genotype (23rd January, Kscope), Textures have shared their new single ‘Vanishing Twin’ today. Inspired by personal experience of the band members, it explores the rarely discussed “Vanishing Twin Syndrome” –
“I have two relatives who struggle with the so-called Lost or Vanishing Twin syndrome. This happens when two foetuses emerge in the womb, but one of them is absorbed by the woman’s body or the other twin. The remaining child that is being born will often deal with the traumatic feeling of having lost a brother/sister and this can shape their life in a significant way.” – Stef

When TEXTURES announced their disbandment in 2018, it marked the end of an era for progressive metal. Their absence was felt across the world – by fans, by peers, and by a scene they helped define. Now, six years later, the Dutch innovators return with Genotype – a monumental resurgence to the forefront of modern progressive music and a powerful reaffirmation of everything that made them a force in the first place.

Serving as the conceptual counterpart to 2016’s acclaimed Phenotype, Genotype is not a continuation but a rebirth. For nearly a decade, fans speculated about its existence, but what arrives now is not a relic of unfinished ideas – it’s something entirely new, written from scratch and self-produced. Genotype distils the essence of TEXTURES’ DNA into eight new songs, mixed by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus). Lyrically, the album speaks to the unheard – introverts, outsiders, and those navigating internal worlds that often go unseen, standing as an ode to authenticity and resilience.
TEXTURES have built a passionate global following over this time. In India, they rose to headline festivals and perform for thousands of devoted fans. In Europe, they became a staple at major events such as Hellfest, Wacken Open Air, Graspop Metal Meeting and Brutal Assault. Their electrifying performances cemented their reputation as one of progressive metal’s most unmissable live acts – and now, they are set to reclaim that stage on the upcoming European Tour supporting Jinjer, that runs from January till March 2026.
