French metalcore outfit TEN56 (formerly TEN56.) bring a punishing, industrial-tinged heaviness to the European metal scene, combining crushing breakdowns, glitchy electronic elements, and vocalist Alex Guitton's venomous delivery into a modern, aggressive package. Their sound draws from the heavier end of the nu-metalcore spectrum, incorporating elements of deathcore and industrial metal into songs built for maximum impact. TEN56's rising profile on the European festival circuit reflects the growing appetite for genre-blending extremity in modern heavy music.
