French bruisers ten56. have announced the arrival of their brand new album, IO. The highly anticipated follow-up to their earth-shattering debut Downer will drop on 5th September via Out Of Line, presenting a more calculated, more aggressive and far darker version of the band than ever before. Pre-order and pre-save the album here.

To celebrate the news, ten56. have also shared a music video for their new single 'I Know Where You Sleep'. Clocking in at under 2 minutes, the single is an unrelenting statement of intent that sees the band brutally utilise blast beats, gutturals, dissonance and towering breakdowns to devastating effect.

Speaking on the album, the band shares:
“With IO, we’ve taken the distinct foundation on which we built our debut album on, and pushed that twisted, vulgar, yet vulnerable emotional rollercoaster even further. We thoroughly hope people enjoy the journey we created with this pivotal sophomore release.”

I got to sit down with members Aaron & Steeves where we talked about the recording process for the album, how they came up with the cover art and Disneyland.

With great stories, chats and banter this is not one to be missed.

Avalible on all streaming platforms.
