ten56.

Led by Aaron Matts, former singer of Betraying The Martyrs, ten56. has been developing a contemporary metal rooted in France since the early 2020s, blending slowed deathcore, nu‑metal influences and industrial textures. The band relies on massive guitars, jagged rhythms and a vocal approach that alternates saturated screams, rap‑like phrasing and spoken passages, all within a dark aesthetic marked by the use of samples and electronic atmospheres. Initially conceived as a studio project before settling onto the live stage, ten56. releases a series of singles and EPs that highlight psychological themes, urban tension and the breakdown of social relations. The group performs mainly on European metal and hardcore stages — in clubs and niche festivals — and maintains a regular presence across networks devoted to extreme music. Operating as a laboratory for Aaron Matts and his partners, ten56. seeks a balance between direct, frontal energy, slow tempos and fragmented structures, with a sound crafted for both live impact and immersive headphone listening.
