Not all musicians can create music that taps into an art form and can make it \u201cradio friendly\u201d like 10 Years<\/a> does. That is what makes 10 Years a band that is severely underrated in the rock world. 10 Years\u2019 new album Violent Allies<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, released on September 18, is one of the best albums they have recorded since The Autumn Effect.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Violent Allies<\/em><\/strong> feels like a band that has returned to itself. That vibe is evident in every song on this record. Violent Allies<\/em><\/strong> sounds more true to how 10 Years sounds performing live as well, especially on the heavier tracks such as \u201cDejavu,\u201d \u201cCut the Cord,\u201d and \u201cSleep in the Fire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first single, \u201cThe Shift\u201d was eerily right on and a track fans can relate to because of everything that has been going on in the world with the pandemic. \u201cThe Unknown\u201d lyrics were also accurate with current world events and it seems like the band was able to have their pulse on the world as if they were predicting the future when they were recording this album at the end of 2019. The piano part in \u201cThe Unknown\u201d was a chilling addition which made it stand out on this record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 Years is known for hard-hitting and personal lyrics, which is another layer that makes Violent Allies<\/em><\/strong> such an incredible album. The lyrics on this album makes the listener feel the personal connection lead vocalist Jesse Hasek has to them. It is evident that Hasek poured his heart and soul into the lyrics in \u201cWaiting,\u201d and \u201cSay Goodbye.\u201d \u201cSay Goodbye\u201d is a very personal song for Hasek being about him recently losing his grandfather. This track is so well done musically and lyrically and can bring comfort to anyone who has suffered through a loss of a loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStart Again\u201d is another strong track that also gives hope to fans that are struggling in their lives. \u201cSet me free, free from myself. It’s only when we’ve lost everything we are free to start again, start again.\u201d It is a very powerful song and tells the listener that they have it in themselves to overcome and carry on. And that hitting rock bottom can \u201cset you free\u201d to build yourself back up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Violent Allies <\/em><\/strong>is a true testament to the talent 10 Years possesses as a band. This album is a reflection of how much they have grown musically over the years. 10 Years put their focus, blood, sweat and tears into this record. It can not only be hard but also felt in every guitar riff, drum beat and lyric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
