Textures have officially entered the studio last week to record the follow up for their 2011 album Dualism, which will be released via Nuclear Blast Records.

This will be the progressive metal band’s first album with current guitarist Joe Tal, who completed the band as a six-piece again in 2013. The new album is expected to be released in early 2016.

Founding guitarist Jochem Jacobs, who has left the band in 2012, will also be a part of the process as he will be producing and mixing the upcoming album at Jacobs‘ Split Second Sound Studio.

Besides Jochem, Textures will also be having Yuma van Eekelen (Exivious/ex-Pestilence) on board as co-producer/engineer at both Split Second Sound as Bart and Yuma‘s own Final Focus Studio.
