Textures have made track Illuminate The Trail available to stream.
The song is taken from their forthcoming record Phenotype, which will be released via Nuclear Blast on February 5. The Dutch six-piece are also putting out a follow-up concept album, Genotype, next year.
Founding member and drummer Stef Broks recently told TeamRock: “I had to halt the guys and say, ‘Listen, do we really want to make just another album? Or do we want to do something completely different?‘
“I knew we couldn’t just write 10 songs for a new record and think that was going to be enough. This is our fifth album, and traditionally that’s a very important step for a band. It’s where reputations are cemented.
“We could carry on as normal, or we could really strive to make a statement. So we made the decision – we were going to make something that would make the fans sit up and take notice. Something we’d never even attempted before.”
Textures are also in Europe next month on their Oceans Collide tour to promote Phenotype, performing at the London Underworld on February 25.
