Genotype is the sixth studio album by Dutch progressive metalcore band Textures. It was released on 23 January 2026 via Kscope. Music videos were released for "Closer to the Unknown" and "At the Edge of Winter", the latter featuring former Delain vocalist Charlotte Wessels.[6]

Genotype was originally the title of an album recorded together with their previous album Phenotype (2016), but the original album was shelved due to the band's split-up from 2017 to 2023. The title was since reused for a new album entirely written from scratch while still serving as the conceptual counterpart to Phenotype, leaving material from the previous Genotype recording session unused.[7][8]
