Hot
on the heels of last year’s “Gothica”, UK hard rock stalwarts TEN/Gary Hughes
are returning with a new album, “Illuminati”! The album promises to be one of
the hallmarks of their 22+ years career, where fans will easily spot all the
trademark textures and flavours they have come to expect from TEN, with a
consistent and solid spark of creativity throughout. “Illuminati” continues to
build upon the rich legacy that the great British rockers have established in
their 20+ year career.
“Illuminati”
is said to be an elite, secret organization of world leaders, business
authorities, innovators, artists, and other influential members of the global
society. A coalition that unites influencers of all political, religious, and
geographical backgrounds to further the prosperity of the human species as a
whole. The album “Illuminati” brings the band’s atmospheres and sounds and
weaves them into a reel of mysteries, esoteric tales, and elaborate spells,
evoking embers that spark the imagination courtesy of the classic songwriting of
vocalist Gary Hughes.
Following
the success of the recent string of albums, from “Albion” to “Gothica”, 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 their fourth outing as a collective
unit, the musicians in TEN have raised the bar even higher than they had
previously. The album is full of stunning guitar work over a rich keyboard,
bass, and drum tapestry with Hughes’ rich vocals once again bringing the nuances
of the intricate lyrics to life.
“Illuminatii”
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.
