After a
long hiatus Ten is back with their ninth studio album. Not much news have
surfaced the last couple of years from the Ten camp, and many believed
that we had seen the last of this band. So it was a great joy when I saw that
Frontiers Records had picked them up and would release a new studio album this
year.
"Stormwarning"
picks thankfully up where Gary Hughes and his partners in crime left us back in
2006, keeping things like they were, delivering the well-known trademarks and
sounds that has always been the foundation of Ten. We are not talking
another "The Name of the Rose" or "The Robe" album here, but more along the
likes of "Babylon" and "Far beyond the World", with "Stormwarning" coming out
just that little bit stronger and more complete.
If you
have been a life-long follower of Gary Hughes work, then you know what to expect
- and he delivers to the fullest once more, to everyone else; this is first
class English hard rock with a fabulous singer and song writer in Gary Hughes,
catchy hooks, well produced and played by a very talented band... what more can
you ask for?
