10 YEARS will co-headline the evening and release their new studio album, “From Birth To Burial,” featuring the new hit single, “miscellanea.” From Birth To Burial represents the sum total of a decade of experience, channeled through exceptionally authentic hard rock music as timeless as it is loud.
