Ten Towers

Ten Towers formed around 2010 with Anya Petrova on vocals, Mikhail Ivanov on guitar, Sergei Kuznetsov on bass, and Viktor Smirnov on drums. Their early sound had a raw energy that came through on their debut album 'Into the Abyss' and the single 'April Sky,' which became a live staple for them.

They built their following through steady touring, often playing 'April Sky' and 'Heart Made of Stone' in their sets. Their music leaned toward introspective themes, which some critics found too dark, but it connected with their audience.

Later songs like 'Geronimo' and 'Lottery' showed a more refined approach while keeping that emotional core. The band kept working without much fuss about their place in the scene, just putting out music that felt right to them.
