Textures - Upwards

from album Drawing Circles

Great song from great band

www.texturesband.com

Shedding this skin
A shadow remains
To be reborn again
Out of the ashes
Stretching out to cover the world

Applying cavity
Denying gravity
It makes no difference at all

To slide between the rocks of time
To remember the snake i was
To live in the perfect storm
And remember who I am

I FUCKIN LOVE THIS BAND.

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.

DAMN GOOD!!!!

@bronzehydra3 Textures have been around for awhile



[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"

[batteryacidcake]

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

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.

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

[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.

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.
