Retracing Our Steps (2007–2014) KSCOPE

Karnivool have returned from the wastes with new ...

New tribute to their former guitarist Brian James is delivered with real passion.

Textures once helped pioneer the modern djent and heavy progressive blueprint, but the Dutch sextet disbanded at the end of 2017 when it felt like the bands they’d inspired had overtaken them. Now, back from the dead and sounding more complete than ever before, returning keyboardist Uri Dijk tells Prog about their resurrection, unlikely new influences and why they won’t buck to genre trends.

Pagan doom, Marmite metalcore, genre-smashing hardcore, razzle-dazzle arena metal… this has been the soundtrack to the decade to date

Praise be! Prog’s most devout figure, Neal Morse, gets the gang back together, dials back the sermonising and reaches for the stars on his band’s sparkling first album in five years.
