10 Years came together in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1999, and after Mike Underdown's brief stint on the microphone, Jesse Hasek took over the lead vocals in 2002. What they built is moody, heavy-lidded alt-metal: guitars that coil and loom, and Hasek's voice floating over the top until the chorus kicks the door in. The early Killing All That Holds You recordings got the ball rolling, and "Wasteland" became the song that defined them, a brooding, slow-grinding anthem that rock radio couldn't shake. "Through the Iris" and "Waking Up" kept the mood dark.
The lineup has shifted many times since, and today guitarist Brian Vodinh and rhythm guitarist Matt Wantland are the last founders still aboard, alongside Hasek and bassist Chad Grennor. The records kept coming on schedule: The Autumn Effect in 2005, Division in 2008 with "Beautiful", Feeding the Wolves in 2010 with the hard-charging "Shoot It Out", and (how to live) AS GHOSTS in 2017 with "Novacaine". There are 10 studio albums in all so far, the most recent being Deconstructed in 2022, and an EP called Inner Darkness arrived in 2024, with the full album announced for 2026.
