Singer and songwriter Gary Hughes describes the new recording as "Epic beyond the limits of all previous Ten albums, with vast and intricate orchestra sections that can only be described as Cinematic".
Gary worked endless hours in his studio in Manchester with the precise task to create "the highest productional scale TEN album ever". Hughes used as reference TEN's two most successful releases ever ("The Name of The Rose" and "Spellbound") and mixed them with a "Troy" meets the "London Symphony Orchestra" approach.
The result is a record that features mighty orchestral passages and boasts all the usual opus of hooks, riffs, haunting melodies and themes that are always expected and associated with any TEN release: a mixture of rock and ballads with a strong atmospheric mood and lyrics that tell tales of love, lust, death, glory, revenge and darkness.
The final tracklisting shall include:
The Prologue / Rome; The Chronicles; Elysian Fields; Hallowed Ground; This Heart Goes On; Oblivion; The Twilight Masquerade: Tourniquet; Born To The Grave; When This Night Is Done; Epilogue.
