NEWS: ten56: snap your fingers, snap your neck!

Celebrating the arrival of their new album “IO” via Out Of Line Music this weekend French Nu-Deathcore merchants ten56 have dropped a music video for “Snapped Neck“. They’re also making their final preparations for an imminent European tour trek so if you haven’t already you might want to check the calendar against the dates below.

The band comment: “We are both excited and, let’s say, relieved to deliver this record. It explores yet uncharted territories for us as a band and encapsulates a period in time for us all on a personal level; a period of difficulty and resilience, hardships and growth. We hope this transparency comes through in these tracks, and touches our listeners but old and new. We’ve put so much of ourselves into this record and it only exists thanks to those who have taken the time to dip their toes into our universe. This is IO. We love you, and we will see you all soon, wherever you are.”

Vocalist Aaron Matts adds: “This track is particular, in the way that it bounces back and forth between confrontational, almost egotistical anger and total vulnerability; we knew that in order to portray this inner battle, that we needed to explore new sounds and vocal atmospheres. This track does a good job of portraying the mental gymnastics that IO tries to encapsulate. We hope you guys feel it.”

“The reason why I started ten56. was to talk about these things that I have on my mind, and unburden myself of them. For a long time in my career I wasn’t able to sing about the way I was actually feeling. I don’t know how to write positive lyrics. I have to be going through something to really be inspired. I’ve always liked extremely heavy music, and this was my way of getting these thoughts off my mind.”
