OH NO! NEW TEXTURES ALBUM DELAYED.

The new Textures album Silhouettes, which the Dutch progressive metal masters had planned to drop on April 21st via Listenable Records, has been pushed back to a May 5th release according to a blog on the band’s MySpace page.

“The reason for this is that there is a manufacturing delay with the complexity of the gold print on the digi-pack.”

Oh well — at least the reason for the delay is, quite literally, metal.

I haven’t actually gone to the store and bought a CD in quite a while (never thought I’d say that), but I might have to for this piece of awesomeness. Go and listen to the album in its entirety on their MySpace page; I’ve been hyping it as Meshuggah meets King For a Day-era Faith No More, but it’s really so much more.
