Gary Hughes working on a new album
Ten frontman Gary Hughes is currently working hard to put finishing touches to his forthcoming solo album entitled "Veritas", latin word for "Truth". The new cd is taking shape in the Arena studios in Lancashire, UK and according to Hughes, "the songs on this album are among the strongest I have ever written in my lifetime"."Veritas" feels like the natural successor to "Precious Ones", Gary Hughes' last solo output dated 1998. This time around Gary used a different array of players to enhance the diversity of the album. "I have gone for a variety of music styles with regard to musicians this time around", explains Gary, "drummer Dave Ingledew and bass player Rick Stewart are currently members of British Dark Metal band Devil To Pay, Jason Robinson is the drummer with Alternative Metal band Absent Minds, whilst Simon Brayshaw is the bass player with British Blues outfit Nightshift. From the Ten ranks, Chris Francis contributes with leadwork once again and John Halliwell has taken acoustic guitar duties as usual". Gary is playing keyboards and caring for all the orchestrations.
"Given the long awaited nature this album and the anticipation already beginning I have been working really hard to make this album the best I possibly can" concludes Gary "we could be sitting on a truly outstanding piece of product, and maybe a yardstick for my future releases".
Frontiers Records plans to release "Veritas" in November, with more info to be released at a later stage.
