TEN – Here Be Monsters (2022)

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“, will land on February 18, 2022 via Frontiers Music.
Following the success of the recent string of albums, from “Albion” to “Illuminati”, Gary 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).
On thos new album mixed and mastered by Dennis Ward, 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.

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.

01 – Fearless
02 – Chapter and Psalm
03 – Hurricane
04 – Strangers on a Distant Shore
05 – The Dream That Fell to Earth
06 – The Miracle of Life
07 – Immaculate Friends
08 – Anything You Want
09 – Follow Me into the Fire
10 – The Longest Time
