For “Silhouettes”, Holland’s Textures looked back to what they did on “Drawing Circles” and then took their songwriting to the next level. Think of everything you liked about these Dutchies and then proceed by enlarging it tenfold. Or if that’s too hard for you metalheads out there, then just go and pick up “Silhouettes” and find out for yourself firsthand.
There’s still a lot of weird rhythm changes, chugga chugga riffs and lots of screaming which is placed oh so so well alongside moody keyboard contributions, Mike Pattonesque clean vocals and atmospheric guitar parts that you can’t help but get impressed. But that was already the case on “Drawing Circles”. So what’s the big difference? Well, the songwriting is even more clever and they managed to smuggle in a little more melody without compromising on the level of aggression.
In short… with “Silhouettes”, Textures have released an album that will no doubt launch them to the forefront of the European metal scene which is exactly where they belong!
Score: 8.5 out of 10
