With the start of the new year, we have officially begun recording our very first album at Tommy Vetterli’s New Sound Studio. Creativity is flowing, spirits are high, and we could not be happier with the results so far! We cannot wait to share this with you. In the meantime, we’ll keep you up to date right here:
Dutch polyrhythmic metal maniacs, TEXTURES, released the first part of a diptych, »Phenotype«, last year through Nuclear Blast. The second record of the diptych, »Genotype«, is currently in progress. In April, the band will embark on another touring trek in support of their latest album. Support on select dates will come from progressive groove metallers EXTREMITIES, UK-based metallers EXIST IMMORTAL and melodic hardcore band ATHENA’S WORD. All dates can be found below!
The band commented: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be heading out on the ‘Within The Horizon Tour’ coming spring. It’s been a while since we played our last show and we can’t wait to get out there once more. Besides the pleasure of playing on our home soil, we’ll also be entering France, Italy and Switzerland. We’re looking forward to be seeing you all in April!”

Debut ‘Funky Queen‘ coming March 3rd 2017 on Napalm Records!
If Janis Joplin, Jack White, Anouk, Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age ever had the chance to breed, this band would have been their favourite creation: Belgium’s answer to pretty much every Rock band out there, BLACK MIRRORS, manage to gather an endless amount of influences which have been ruling the Rock N’ Roll universe for decades. This one’s a keeper, and with good cause BLACK MIRRORS just recently signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records!
Now the band, fronted by charismatic vocalist Marcella Di Troia, unveiled a first lyric video from their upcoming debut EP ‘Funky Queen‘, which is set to be released on March 3rd 2017!
Enjoy the ride of the ‘Funky Queen‘ and dive into the tunes of BLACK MIRRORS first EP Here:
The band comments: „We are proud and happy to introduce you to our new EP! We worked on it with a lot of passion and love and we can’t wait to share it with the world and to hear people’s reactions. Making and releasing this EP fills us with great joy and hopefully more people will love our songs as much as we do! Initially the song “Funky Queen” – from a musical point of view – was far more complicated than how it is today. There were many different parts that have been revised to eventually come to the current version. We composed the final version on a folk guitar which helped us getting more into the essence and feeling of the song. Funky Queen is about any kind of addiction as in drugs, alcohol or even love. The Queen confronts everyone with one’s own demons.“

Estonian metalhead stoner Val Tvoar released a killer video for his new single “Dark Side of Mine”.
The cinematography is of a deliciously-gritty texture and integrates perfectly with the core story, which is thematically inspired by the Mary Shelley novel “Frankenstein as the Modern Prometheus”.
Val Tvoar’s fans will be rather delighted to discover that this new video is actually the prequel to the video for his single “I am You”. Both tracks are selections from the album “In Light You Believe … But In Darkness You Dwell”, which was released in November 2016. All characters in the video are portrayed by the brilliantly-talented members of Val Tvoar’s live band. And they filmed the video themselves through the hand-held magic of the iPhone.
