Frontiers Records will release TEN's new studio album, "Heresy And Creed", on October 19 in Europe and October 22 in North America.
For the band's tenth studio CD, TEN singer and songwriter Gary Hughes worked very hard to live up to the fans' expectations. The new TEN lineup — featuring new axeman Dan Mitchel, Darrel Treece-Birch on keyboards and Max Yates on drums, along with longtime member John Halliwell and returning bassist Steve McKenna — has complemented Hughes's efforts in creating the best TEN album ever.
According to a press release, "Heresy And Creed" "once again marks the perfect union between grandiose and epic hard rock tunes. Very melodic, hook-laden singalong songs with a scattering of immense and haunting power ballads to complete the typical TEN tapestry."
Says Gary Hughes: "It is a particularly strong selection of material. I feel this is possibly our most mature, and diverse collection of songs ever. There is literally something in there for everyone and every taste."

Je les ai vu sur la tournée Babylon en premiere partie de Royal Hunt à Paris.
J'aime beaucoup ce groupe, même si je continue de penser qu'ils ont un potentiel à sortir des tueries .... et se contentent d'albums juste bons..

'tain j'ai tous leurs disques...j'écoute ce groupe depuis des années et j'avais jamais regardé une seule photo du groupe dans mes rêves il avait plus de classe le hugues
British melodic hard rock band Ten has announced the upcoming new album "Gothica," which will drop on July 7, 2017 via Frontiers Music Srl.
The highly anticipated new album promises to be one of the strongest collection of songs to date. It is full of all the trademark textures and flavors we have come to expect from Ten, arguably one of the best and most consistent melodic hard rock bands in the genre. “Gothica” renews Ten’s longstanding association with the Frontiers label and proudly displays all the hallmarks of classic Ten albums and will surely continue to build upon the rich legacy that the great British rockers have forged over a career spanning 22 years and counting.
“Gothica” emerges as the darkest album to date. Embracing history, romance and erotic horror in equal measure as it does, the title proves to be a fitting name. As listeners, we are transported from the darker side of human nature to the nocturnal supernatural, a dramatic realm of nightmares and the forbidden. “Gothica” is cinematic in every sense of the word. A web of musically elaborate spells, evoking embers that spark the imagination courtesy of the classic song writing of vocalist Gary Hughes.
Of the album, Gary says, "I am extremely pleased with the collection of songs on 'Gothica' as they feel like they belong together. The band are firing on all cylinders once again and it is a gift to the army of fans everywhere who have relentlessly supported us over the years. It is ironically fitting that our 13th studio album should be a little more sinister, at the same time retaining all the commercial traits usually associated with a Ten album."
Following their success on the recent albums “Albion” and "Isla De Muerta," Hughes is joined once again by guitarists Dann Rosingana, Steve Grocott and John Halliwell along with bass player Steve McKenna, keyboard maestro Darrel Treece-Birch, and drummer Max Yates. On the third outing as a collective unit, the musicians in Ten has raised the bar even higher than the band had previously. The album is full of stunning guitar work over a rich keyboard, bass, and drum tapestry with Hughes’ vocals once again bringing the nuances of the intricate lyrics to life.
“Gothica” 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."
Additionally, the album features stunning original artwork by Stan W. Decker (shown below), depicting a beautiful enchantress reading incantations from a book whilst summoning shadowy characters from its pages. Stan has cleverly illustrated the piece in order to portray the characters emerging from the books pages as the actual characters from the songs on the album. The atmospheric sleeve photography is once again provided by the remarkably talented Adrian Ashworth.
Frontiers is proud to be working with the legendary Ten again and looks forward to sharing this stunning new album with the band's fans around the globe!
The track listing is as follows:
1. The Grail
2. Jekyll And Hyde
3. Travellers
4. Man For All Seasons
5. In My Dreams
6. The Wild King Of Winter
7. Paragon
8. Welcome To The Freak Show
9. La Luna Dra-cu-la

I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun
Colors bleed but never fade
et c'est plutôt pas mal. Quelqu'un sait si ils tournent encore?
dans mes rêves il avait plus de classe le hugues
