UK hard rock stalwarts TEN used the downtime during the worldwide pandemic to work on not one, but two new albums. The first album to be released, “Here Be Monsters”, has landed on February 18, 2022. Their brand new single and lyric video for the track “Miracle Of Life” is out today. Listen to our singles – “Fearless”, “Hurricane” and “Miracle Of Life” and order/save “Here Be Monsters” on CD/LP/Digital HERE: https://orcd.co/herebemonsters

Following the success of the recent string of albums, from “Albion” to “Illuminati”, Hughes is joined once again by guitarists Dann Rosingana, Steve Grocott and John Halliwell along with bass player Steve McKenna, and keyboard maestro Darrel Treece-Birch. Drums on the album have been handled by Markus Kullman (Sinner, Glenn Hughes, Voodoo Circle). TEN continue to raise the musical bar higher for themselves, a goal they push on every release. Stunning guitar work, rich keyboards, excellent bass and drum interplay along with Hughes’ rich vocals are the order of the day here. “Here Be Monsters” was produced by Gary Hughes and mixed and mastered by Dennis Ward. TEN’s longstanding professional association with Dennis has been ongoing since he mixed their 2011 album, “Stormwarning” and has always guaranteed albums with stunning sound and production.

Fans should note that there are no ties between this and the next album, ie. “Here Be Monsters” is not a “Part One” or anything of this nature. The band has simply crafted two high quality releases and decided to put them out separately, in a fashion not too dissimilar to what happened to the amazing first two records which were recorded one after the other in a very short period of time.

British hard rockers TEN have an outstanding history of releases in their storied and revered catalog. Starting out as a sort of solo project built around singer and songwriter Gary Hughes, TEN found their audience playing a hard rock sound influenced by such giants as UFO, Thin Lizzy, Magnum, Giant, and Whitesnake in a time when playing this particular sound was considered ommericial suicide. The band’s early records such as “The Name Of The Rose”, “The Robe”, “Spellbound“, and “Babylon” established the band as mainstays in the melodic hard rock genre, which has continued throughout their now 26 year career over the course of 14 studio albums.

Tracklist:

1. Fearless
2. Chapter And Psalm
3. Hurricane
4. Strangers On A Distant Shore
5. The Dream That Fell To Earth

Amidst the darkness of chaos of the unprecedented pandemic, TEN are returning with two studio albums!

In a recent video studio update, Gary Hughes and Darrel Treece-Birch announced that the band is working on what are to be TEN’s 15th and 16th studio albums. The first one expected to be released in the first quarter of 2022. According to the video update, the new albums are a nod back to the original elements and flavours that the fans of the band have become familiar with over the years. Elements that TEN are respected and known for within their genre, reflecting more towards their classic early output on albums like “Ten”, “The Name Of The Rose”, “The Robe” and “Spellbound”.

In addition to the news of the two new Ten albums, Gary Hughes also announced the release of a debut album that he has been involved in. TAO is a new British Female Fronted Melodic Hard Rock band. A rock Trio hailing from Edinburgh (Scotland), Cardiff (Wales) and Barrow in England. It features Karen Fell (Vocals), Chris Gould (ex‐Serpentine) (Guitars) and Dave Rosingana (Bass Guitars), alongside drummer Brian Webster with our own Darrel Treece Birch providing the keyboards for the project. The songs were written and produced by Gary Hughes. The album was also mixed and mastered by none other than Dennis Ward.
