Turmoil is a word that could well describe what life has been like in the
TEN camp over the past few years. Going through several line-up changes and a self imposed exiles from the scene, TEN for many seemed to be a name that wrote glorious pages in the darkest period of
Melodic Hard Rock, failing to keep the flame alive when the momentum was raising again.
Still, TEN singer and principal songwriter,
Gary Hughes knew he had another ace up his sleeve and decided to play it safe. For the new album “
Stormwarning” he wanted first to have the right line-up and he enlisted the services of
Neil Fraser on lead guitars and
Mark Sumner on bass, in addition to long-time members
John Helliwell on guitar and
Paul Hodson on keyboards.
In the summer 2010 with all the groundwork done, TEN finally started the recording of “
Stormwarning” an album that, like the name itself tells, is an inspiration for tales of glory, war, and death and of course love. Any rock fan who digs the sound that
Rainbow carved out with “
Difficult to Cure” or that
Whitesnake brought to success with “1987” and that
Gary Moore exalted with albums like “Final Frontier” or “Run For Cover” needs to have this record in their collection. And even for the well acquainted, TEN re-ignite memories of “The Name of The Rose” and “Spellbound”.
“Stormwarning” tracklisting includes:
Endless Symphony; Centre Of My Universe; Kingdom Come; Book Of Secrets; Stormwarning; Invisible; Love Song; The Hourglass And The Landslide; Destiny; The Wave.
