Textures - Upwards

[GIBBIE7777]

DAMN GOOD!!!!



[gelokud]

just dont give a fuck and enjoy this fuckin rock chill music...i love meshuggah!!! try to listen scar symmetry 4 a while...

[bronzehydra3]

I hate when people compare every new progressive metal band with meshuggah... Don't get me wrong, Meshuggah is definitely one of my favorite bands ever, but people just gotta listen to the music instead of trying to say how Band X is completely ripping of Meshuggah, or Band Y is shit compared to Meshuggah. Those people need to grow the fuck up and just listen to the music.

[aclockwisevortex32]

@bronzehydra3 Textures have been around for awhile

[opeth41]

people meshuggah started a whole new genre and its ok if bands use thier style

[Rabidbadger011]

At 6:05 there is meant to be an epic melodic prog metal explosion, but they accidentally leant on the master volume controls. :P

[thesubliminalhorizon]

Meshuggah and Textures are BOTH great. I don't think they should be compared, even how much you want to argue one is more "djent" than the other. I like things about Meshuggah better than Textures, and some things about Textures more than Meshuggah. I think they have pretty distinct sounds.

[charvinaldo]

I personally prefer this kind of stuff, compared to their other more vocal oriented stuff.

[pcrvg0808]

I mean ,,DUTCHIES,, . Yep, from the land of dykes and the queen .

[Damnedfaith]

@pcrvg0808 and Weed! don't forget the WEED!

[pcrvg0808]

@Damnedfaith Yep , oh and the red light district .AMSTERDAM

[MetalAbuser587]

@ daniellaurine, who said anyone picked the wrong song? there stuff is amazing i dont see your band up hear playing any music. this stuff is there softer side. and who ever commented on it and liked it awsome. but dont say we picked the wrong song, were all not as inconsiderate to music as you are!

[pcrvg0808]

DUCHIES

[ThreeDaysOfDan]

looking for video game textures,listened to this =) nice i dont like this style sounds very sloww , lol i like the lyrics very poetic i like poetic music =P dikai kashio ftw!!! lol

thumbs up for the video!!

[Salobatera]

como um despertar.

[notswhiteley]

Meshuggah does not have a monopoly on strange rhythms! enough with all the stupid comparisons already, just enjoy the music!

[Raffael900me]

the only thing is meshuggah doesnt know wat a melody or music is

[xXvanderburghXx]

@Raffael900me Thordendal sure does know something about harmonics and melody - check out his leadpart in the second half of "Straws pulled at ranodm" or his several solo pieces.

[treesinroom]

@xXvanderburghXx compared to whom? few teenage metalheads or Par Matheny)?

[SnoringMonkeyExhibit]

@Raffael900me They know melody and music are. And if you did too, you might understand that their music (like music should be) is about the effect the sound has on the human mind.

[proggah]

@Aelkamal I was deliberately looking up this band but found a comment about my favourite VGM composer!

[Aelkamal]

i was in the Alexander Brandon tracks, and saw this by random, and i kinda like it !

[007Pogo]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!

[joewinkler666]

i can respect the drummer

[cisco9x]

@joewinkler666 Stef Broks - one of the best drummers in the world, and I've met him :)

[lordsatyros666]

the drummings fuckin great.

[Fyurish]

Every now and again, a band comes along that forces me to truly stop and listen to their music. No matter where I am, no matter what I am doing.

Textures is one of those bands.

[FallenShortFilms]

@Fyurish I can do nothing at all. Except this. Fully and totally agree. :)

[PorcupineTheater85]

this song is incredible!!!!!!!

[Theheavymetalscott]

I don't care what genre this is or who it sounds like all i care about is the music the awe inspiringly Great music

[VexedSamith]

im stoned and this song sounds amazing♥

[fodass666]

@VexedSamith me too man, me too....

[PeXis]

Feels like european metal is on a rise.. Gojira, Textures and Katatonia really have delivered.

[DnBratzRecords]

I FUCKIN LOVE THIS BAND.

[fashisti1]

@DnBratzRecords

yessss mannn!!!!;-)))))

[Putrefraction]

i wouldnt call it musical masterpiece.. its nice. i find this more listenable than their more metal stuff, which is too repetetive IMHO before i get flamed. I much prefer Tesseract and Animals as Leaders, even Scale the Summit..

[nycbassist76]

i never heard this band before...i like it sofar...only thing i have to say is it sounds a little drawn out i would of liked more changes...they stayed with the same theme too long and it made it boring but i'll check out more of them

[rahulrajaram2005]

you should the whole album, only then you'll know why this song's been stretched.

the starting theme repeats elsewhere in the album. this is my favourite album by textures.

[ignacioffm]

epic

[TheHidden2009]

the Start sound liks pink floyd

[IbanezDemon]

awesome band, awesome songs, awesome sound, awesome production, awesome guys, awesome album covers...

[cisco9x]

Absolute masterpiece

[xulavenger]

fuckkinn EPIC BAND!

[Salobatera]

transcendental

[wizarddragon]

this has a devin townsend feel to it

[greendayrpunk]

not bad. not my style at all, someone told me these guys are like meshuggah, he was dead wrong

[daniellaurine]

You picked the wrong song. Some of their songs sound very much like the polyryhmic madness of Meshuggah. Try the songs Regenesis, Millstone, & Laments of an Icarus. Not to say one is better than the other, but Textures covers a broader range of styles than Meshuggah does.

[brownlawnmowerent]

Messuggah doesnt play a nystyle

[omgnuub]

well let me put it like this, textures might do a broader spectrum while they dont the meshuggah part as good as the original.

[archmoth]

@daniellaurine No, this is a touching song but all the other stuff is rad too

[Drivlesh]

@daniellaurine this song is awesomeness, everyone have their own likes :]

[Brandon75689]

@daniellaurine they sound like meshuggah but meshuggah looks down at these guys rhythm wise these guys are more melodic then meshuggah. Meshuggah just like to sound like musical machines. They are just as good

[TheScrewball1982]

@daniellaurine - I was so impressed with the rhythm management of Millstone

[DanteLeblanc]

@daniellaurine They still don't have shit on Meshuggah, and never will.

[metalhead6777777]

@DanteLeblanc dude im sure most djent fans know that meshuggah started djent, so we dont have to hear dbags like you on every djent page that every djent band has to be refered to meshuggah

[DanteLeblanc]

@metalhead6777777 If you would have read the comment I was replying to, you'd have found that I wasn't the one who brought Meshuggah up. Daniellaurine was saying how Textures covers a broader range of music, but seriously, you do not know what the fuck you're talking about if you believe Textures comes remotely close to the skill and superiority of Th3 Shugg. I mean what is Textures? Cynic influenced "djent"-metalcore? I can't even stand but a few of these songs.

[gibbsies]

@DanteLeblanc I think what he was saying is that Meshuggah only really does one style, which is what makes them Meshuggah, and what puts them so far above the rest. But obviously this song is a different style than other Textures songs, so in that way they cover a broader range of "styles"

No one said anything about skill.

[batteryacidcake]

@daniellaurine just because you cant understand it doesnt mean its madness

[daniellaurine]

@batteryacidcake - not sure if that was meant in a condescending way... I was using the term "madness" as a compliment as it's a flavor I commonly enjoy in music.

@else - had no idea my comment had been promoted to the top so I should clarify that my comment was indeed a response to someone (as it doesn't seem to show) who had come to this song after being recommended this band. Probably a near worthless effort as this comment will be lost. Also, to correct my own mistake - "polyrhythmic"

[travillion7]

I almost fully agree with you. I think anyone who plays in odd time signatures or polyrhythms gets compared to Meshuggah. I've even heard Tool be compared to them... I don't see much comparison other than the time signature. I agree with you. Textures does NOT sound like Meshuggah. Ha ha. I love both bands for their OWN sound.

[lbercier1973]

Im quite surprised at how few people know of this band. Very underated!!

[SkylerMead]

I love from 4 41 till the end of the song.i just love that whole instrumental with the guitar melodies.TEXTURES FOREVER!

[Mrdoodahday]

Outstanding.... This band has a new fan ^_^

[Accavarium]

same here.

[Shadow666790]

So epic!

[Demnarit]

I'm Gonna Get This Album, I already have the last one "Silhouettes" , this is definitely one of my favorite band !

[yibam]

greaaat

[andyrocker68]

[dawsonAWS]
