About the Artist
There's no shortage of good, timeless material on Division. "Actions and Motives" is a fist-pumping rocker interwoven with atmospheric guitar tendrils, the first single "Beautiful" is brooding and evocative, suffused with ringing, distorted guitars and melancholy harmonies and "Dying Youth" starts with a poignant classical guitar progression and yearning vocals before weeping strings and a stirring chorus take the track over the peak and somewhere between euphoria and despair. Then there's "Alabama," a psychedelic-tinged song flavored with sitar, Indian percussion and acoustic guitar.

As refreshing, accomplished and united as Division sounds, there was a period when it looked like 10 Years might never finish the record. "The title of the album is self-explanatory in the sense that we had to become so divided as individuals - and as a group - to create this," Hasek explains. "Because we all have such strong personalities and opinions, we had many different directions to look at things from. But when we all came together as a unit, we were able to make our best music ever." The band felt the added pressure of growing as musicians while living up to the success of The Autumn Effect and its hit single "Wasteland."

Ultimately, 10 Years overcame their insecurities by worked together as a cohesive songwriting team, and vibing off each other instead of following anyone else's advice.

"We got so fed up we just said, `Forget everybody,' and we started only listening to each other, which we hadn't been doing at all," Vodinh says. "We didn't care about each others opinions for a long time, and suddenly we all joined hands and said, `We have to become a brotherhood again. We have to bond together.' And that's when everything finally took shape."

In June 2007, 10 Years entered a Seattle studio with producer Rick Parasher (Pearl Jam, 3 Doors Down) and started tracking Division. Parasher was far more hands-on than Josh Abraham, who had produced The Autumn Effect, and, while it took a while to adjust to the change in approach, the band members benefited from his intense interest and experience. "Rick was in there every second of every day and he had a real vision," Vodinh says. "When we first got there, it wasn't exactly the same vision we had, but we slowly found a medium where we could all be on the same page."

"It was through this album that we really found ourselves," "Hasek says. "We needed to really go through that hard time to really respect each other and the life and opportunity we'd been given. A lot of people get thrown into this kind of lifestyle and they just use it up real quick and take it for granted and then use it up and it's gone. And they're left scratching their heads going, `What happened?' I'm pretty sure now that's never going to happen to us."

Product Description
Creativity isn't manufactured on an assembly line. It can't be scheduled or forced and when it's not coming there's nothing to do but wait. That's what the members of Knoxville, Tennessee quintet, 10 Years, discovered when they started writing songs for their second album, Division, the follow-up to their debut The Autumn Effect. Having spent the better part of two years on the road, the band members planned in October 2006 to take a month off and then dive back into writing mode. They aimed to re-enter the studio in early 2007 and have their second album done by that spring. But just a few weeks after they started coming up with riffs and melodies, it became clear they were going to have to throw away the calendar.

"We could have met our deadlines and gone into the studio in January," clarifies singer Jesse Hasek. "But we decided early on that we weren't going to allow ourselves to run through the motions. We felt like we really needed to challenge ourselves and do something fresh and different. And that took a little longer than we expected."

As it turned out, Division was well worth the wait. Musically eclectic, technically adept and emotionally poignant, the songs shatter preconceptions, revealing a tapestry of previously unexplored influences and a larger array of stunning melodies. Like The Autumn Effect, the new album is filled with enveloping textures and heart-stopping dynamics, but the arrangements are more developed and the songwriting more mature, revealing a cavalcade of styles including metal, hard rock, punk, alternative pop and even classical.
